About
Dr. Zhanfeng Qi is a leading researcher in marine robotics and fluid–structure interaction, with a focus on advancing autonomous systems for ocean exploration. His primary research areas include wave energy harvesting, flexible wing dynamics, and the design of unmanned surface vehicles. Dr. Qi’s most notable contribution is the development of wave gliders with webbed wings (WGWWs)—a novel class of unmanned surface robots that harness both wave and solar energy for sustained, eco-friendly marine operations. His work on the fluid–structure coupling dynamic characteristics of flexible webbed wings under passive deformation has provided critical insights into how these adaptive structures enhance propulsion and stability in real-sea conditions. This research, published in 2024 and already garnering early citations, underscores the growing impact of his innovations. By enabling longer-duration, low-power ocean monitoring, Dr. Qi’s designs are poised to transform marine science research, offering robust platforms for data collection in challenging environments. His achievements mark him as a rising authority in sustainable marine robotics, bridging theoretical mechanics with practical engineering solutions.
