About

Mingjiang Ji is a pioneering researcher in bio-inspired sensing and hydrodynamic perception, with a focus on replicating the lateral line system found in fish. His work bridges biology and engineering, exploring how pressure-based sensing can enable underwater vehicles to detect and interpret local flow fields for navigation and control. Ji’s most cited paper, “A fish-shaped minimal prototype of lateral line system based on pressure sensing” (2017), has earned 11 citations and introduced a compact, fish-inspired sensor array that mimics the natural organ’s ability to sense hydrodynamic cues. This contribution lays the groundwork for developing near-field sensing technologies that could revolutionize autonomous underwater robotics. By translating biological principles into functional prototypes, Ji offers a fresh perspective on environmental perception, moving beyond traditional vision and sonar. His research holds promise for applications in marine exploration, environmental monitoring, and underwater vehicle control, making him a notable figure in the emerging field of bio-inspired hydrodynamics.
