An overview of our research team
Our research focuses on cutting-edge technologies for coastal and offshore disaster mitigation and ocean renewable exploitation.
Rogue waves are exceptionally high waves that are distinguishable from their surrounding waves. They are potential threats to the safety of human's oceanic activities.
Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water level due to the storm event. When superimposed with astronomical tides, they can cause widely spreading flood in coastal regions.
Tsunamis are a group of successive waves origin from the source regions that can be due to landslides or seaquakes. They impose devastating impacts on coastal community.
Offshore wave and wind renewables are sustainable energy resources for producing electricity with low emission of greenhouse gases and pollutants.
A new generation modelling suite for the survivability of wave energy converters in marine environments.
Robust numerical modelling of Wave Energy Converters and Offshore Wind Turbines under extreme sea conditions.
Enhanced Spectral Boundary Integral model for large-scale phase-resolved ocean wave simulations.
Deterministic characteritics and statistics of extreme ocean waves induced by fully nonlinear wave-current interactions.
Coastal hazard due to concurrence of storm surge and tsunamis.
Interactions between tsunamis and Dongsha Atoll. Tsunami risk assessment for the mainland coastal cities.
A hybrid model coupling ESBI and Schrödinger equation for efficient phase-resolved ocean wave modelling.
Dr. Wang's research on concurrent coastal disasters is highlighted by UNDRR.
