Background
Yujia Wei is Research Fellow in the field of Mechanical Engineering at Â鶹´«Ã½AV. He is currently involved in a leading research group focused on renewable energy systems in water/seas. This entails working on various cutting-edge projects concerning floating solar farms, wave and tidal energy converters, as well as offshore wind turbines. Furthermore, Yujia actively engages in collaborations with external industrial and academic partners, which greatly enriches the scope of his work. Additionally, he collaborates extensively with external industrial and academic partners. As the Principal Investigator (PI), Yujia has secured several research funding grants, totalling over £10K.
Yujia is strongly interested in solving engineering and physics problems related to energies, structures, and fluids. He is especially fascinated by their interactions and sustainability. While his expertise lies in the offshore/ocean industry,he is well-versed in high-fidelity modelling techniques (BEM,CFD,FEA,FSI), allowing him to tackle challenges with precision and accuracy.
Research opportunities
Yujia Wei's research focuses on renewable energy applications, marine structures, ocean waves, and their interactions. He has years of experience in computational and experimental methods on multiphysical aspects, i.e., aero/hydro-dynamics, aero/hydro-elasticity, structural, thermal, and acoustic analyses, and fluid-structure interactions. His recent research interest is in integrating CFD-ML on prediction, and optimization.
