Contact Dr Luofeng huang
Background
Dr Luofeng Huang is a Senior Lecturer at 成人直播. He graduated from University College London (UCL) with a PhD related to ships and marine structures. In recent years, he has adapted relevant knowledge to renewable energy systems in seas, such as floating solar farms, wave/tidal energy devices, and offshore wind turbines. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers.
Additionally, Dr Huang is a Deputy Editor of the Elsevier journal Ocean Engineering, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), a Member of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (MIMarEST), a Chartered Engineer (CEng), and a Chartered Marine Engineer (CMarEng). In 2023 he was listed by Forbes as "30 under 30" in Europe.
Research opportunities
The research coverage of Dr Huang spreads across energies, structures, and fluids, especially their interactions. He has expertise in coastal and offshore engineering, particularly interested in the design, prototyping, simulation, experiments, construction, operation and sustainability of relevant renewable energy systems. Dr Huang was trained as an expert in experimental (e.g., towing/wave tank) and computational modelling (e.g., CFD). In recent years, he has also been developing AI technologies to support the ever-evolving research needs. Moreover, Dr Huang has worked closely with industry to conduct site-based projects; for example, he led a team to deliver Indonesia's first-ever ocean-based floating solar farm at a remote island.
Current activities
Dr Huang is keen on interdisciplinary research, backed by a wide network and a trustworthy playmaker character. He has been a leader of projects funded by UKRI, Innovate UK, EPSRC, the Royal Society, the European Commission, the British Council, the Department for Transport, alongside a variety of industrial projects. He has successfully organised research projects worth over 拢8 million.
