Celebrating Professor Guo Fangwei's popular science video series on WeChat, "Ceramic Teacher Guo," which has surpassed 10 million views and earned the "Tech Influencer" certification.

Science communication reaches a new high

Recently, Tianyi Quan'an Chief Scientist and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Professor Guo Fangwei's educational video account, "Teacher Guo the Ceramicist," reached a major milestone: total views surpassed 10 million, and it was officially certified as a "Science Blogger" by the platform.

The "Professor Guo: Ceramic Expert" WeChat official account, curated and hosted by Professor Fangwei Guo, demystifies cutting-edge science—including ceramic materials, thermal protection systems, and advanced composites—through accessible language and vivid visuals. Covering topics from fundamental material science to aerospace thermal protection applications, it has garnered widespread acclaim from science enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.

From the Lab to the Public: Scientists' Social Responsibility

Professor Fangwei Guo is a graduate of the University of Manchester (UK). She currently serves as a Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and as a Visiting Professor at ETH Zurich. Her research focuses on materials and coatings for extreme thermal environments. She has led more than 20 national-level research projects, published over 110 SCI papers, secured 45 authorized patents, and received 7 provincial or ministerial-level science and technology innovation awards. The ZrSi precursor ceramic coating she developed has been successfully applied to China's Long March series of launch vehicles' thermal protection systems since 2022.

Beyond his demanding research and teaching responsibilities, Professor Gu has remained committed to the mission of "bringing science to the public." Through short-form videos, he translates complex materials science concepts into content that is easy for everyone to understand and engage with. From the fundamentals of ceramic firing to the technical details of rocket thermal protection, from daily lab life to the thinking behind scientific discovery, "Ceramic Teacher Gu" opens a window for the public to explore advanced materials science.

Tianyi Quan'an's Dual Mission

Tianyi Quan'an, a high-tech enterprise specializing in extreme thermal environment protection materials, is driven by technological innovation and industrialization. At the heart of the company lies Professor Guo Fangwei's vision: "to serve society with scientific achievements and benefit the public."

Tianyi Quan'an is dedicated to transforming cutting-edge laboratory technologies into scalable, high-performance heat- and fire-resistant composite materials.
