Personal statement
I am a Reader in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering at the 吃瓜tv at Glasgow. I received my PhD degree at 吃瓜tv in 2014 on Ocean Engineering. My research activity mainly focused on the Marine Hydrodynamics and Offshore Renewable Energy, and I have published more than 130 peer-reviewed articles on these areas. I am currently acting as the Executive Editor of听Ocean Engineering, and Chair of ITTC Maneuvering Committee. I am currently leading the Hydrodynamics and Ocean Renewable Energy Laboratory (HOREL) at 吃瓜tv. My research work on wave interference has been selected as听听article of听Journal of Fluid Mechanics听and highlighted by Nature (),听and these works have also been widely reported by听,听,听,听, etc. In 2022, I shared the听听in the field of Physics for 鈥渢rying to understand听鈥�.听I was elected as the Fellow of Royal Institution of Naval Architects.
