About
Tiejun Liu is a pioneer in deep-sea engineering, whose work has pushed the boundaries of human exploration in the hadal zone. His primary research focuses on the design and operation of hybrid underwater vehicles, specifically Autonomous and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ARVs) capable of withstanding extreme pressures. Liu’s most celebrated contribution is the development of the *Haidou-1* vehicle, which in 2024 successfully visited the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, reaching a record depth of 10,908 meters. This milestone enabled critical scientific observation, sampling, and bathymetric mapping of the trench bottom. The *Haidou-1* project, detailed in his highly cited 2024 paper, represents a leap forward in hybrid vehicle technology, merging the endurance of an AUV with the precision of an ROV. Liu’s work has profound implications for marine geology, biology, and resource exploration, opening new frontiers for deep-ocean science. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to solving the formidable engineering challenges of the deep sea, inspiring a new generation of ocean engineers.
