About

Dr. Yanwen Liu is a leading researcher in the field of bio-inspired robotics and fluid dynamics, with a primary focus on fish locomotion and its application to autonomous underwater vehicles. Her work bridges the gap between biological mechanics and engineering design, particularly through the study of carangiform swimming—a highly efficient propulsion mode used by fish like mackerel and tuna. Dr. Liu’s most cited paper, "Research Development on Fish Swimming" (2022, 38 citations), provides a comprehensive review of how millions of years of evolution have optimized fish performance, offering critical insights for robotic fish design. In her notable work "Investigation of the Resonant Effect in Carangiform Locomotion" (2020), she developed a novel decoupled natural orthogonal model to test the hypothesis that fish utilize resonance to conserve energy during undulatory swimming. This contribution is significant for advancing energy-efficient robotic propulsion systems. With a growing citation record, Dr. Liu’s research is shaping the next generation of agile, low-power aquatic robots, making her a key figure in biomimetic engineering.
