About
Xinyang Han is a rising researcher in marine renewable energy and bio-inspired fluid dynamics, whose work bridges the gap between energy harvesting and propulsion systems. His most-cited paper, "Dual-function flapping hydrofoil: Energy capture and propulsion in ocean waves" (2024), has already garnered 19 citations, signaling its impact in the field. This study introduces a novel dual-purpose hydrofoil design that simultaneously extracts wave energy and generates thrust, offering a transformative approach for autonomous ocean vehicles and wave-energy converters. By mimicking the efficient flapping motion of marine animals, Han’s research advances the integration of energy systems into maritime platforms, reducing reliance on batteries. His contributions are particularly relevant for long-duration ocean monitoring and exploration, where self-sustaining propulsion is critical. With a focus on experimental validation and computational modeling, Han’s work is paving the way for more resilient and energy-autonomous marine technologies. As his citation count grows, he is establishing himself as a key voice in sustainable ocean engineering.
