About

Dr. Manhua Li is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, nuclear engineering, and digital twin technology. Her work focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems for hazardous nuclear environments, with particular emphasis on spent fuel pool maintenance and decommissioning operations. Her most notable contribution is the introduction of a digital-twin-based system for foam cleaning robots in spent fuel pools, which represents a significant advancement in remote handling of radioactive materials. This innovative system employs a sophisticated four-layer architecture—comprising physical entity, twin data, twin model, and application service layers—enabling real-time monitoring, simulation, and control of cleaning operations in one of the most challenging environments in nuclear facilities. The work has already garnered 5 citations since its 2024 publication, demonstrating its immediate impact on the field. Dr. Li's research addresses critical safety and efficiency challenges in nuclear waste management, offering a pathway toward more autonomous and reliable robotic interventions in high-radiation zones. Her contributions are particularly valuable as the nuclear industry seeks to modernize its decommissioning and maintenance protocols through digital transformation.
