This is possibly just pure coincidence, but it seems that Wang Haifeng (the chief designer of the J-36) might have actually taught at Purdue University in Indiana.

He has a webpage on the university's website:

Could it be the same dude?

Heck, there is even a RateMyProfessor page for him (for those who know):

If I were a white dude who couldn't tell the difference between Asians, i'd say YES.

Edit: BTW Comrade Chief Designer seems to have put some effort into his ID photo.

Here in Europe we continue to underestimate the new production efficiency (and I am talking about structures, (native) software, efficient supply chain, etc.). I will tell you this anecdote: during the Christmas holidays, one of the designers of the FREMM (Italian Frigate) called me, we have been friends for years. That's right, he told me about the J-36. About the J-50 and of course the 076. He was amazed at the speed with which it was assembled on the dock (the 076). I assume it is the same in aviation.

China has dominated the global shipbuilding industry, capable to build much advanced ships times faster than any other countries, both civil and military. Many new hardware, software and management strategies have been introduced to achieve that throughout past years. So 076's building speed is not strange, it's just a miniature of rapid development.

on a design and optimization process for the wings of next-gen fighter aircraft that takes into consideration both aerodynamic and stealth performance.
