About
Zhuoran Qi is a leading researcher in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC), with a focus on extending the range and data capacity of optical links for marine robotics and autonomous underwater vehicles. Her work addresses the fundamental challenge of light attenuation in water due to absorption and scattering, which severely limits the coverage of high-speed optical transceivers. Qi’s major contributions include the development of a polarized OFDM-based pulse position modulation scheme, which enhances data throughput in deep-water environments, and the design of a range-extending optical transceiver structure that improves link reliability for underwater vehicles. Her most-cited papers—a 2023 study on polarized OFDM (15 citations) and a 2019 paper on transceiver design (11 citations)—demonstrate the growing impact of her research in the field of underwater robotics and communication systems. By tackling the trade-off between speed and range, Qi’s work enables more robust, real-time data transfer for ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, and subsea operations. Her innovations are critical for advancing the autonomy and connectivity of next-generation underwater platforms.
