Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI): My research combines experimental techniques, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to comprehensively understand interactions between flexible structures and fluid flows. Studies focus on performance optimisation and structural resilience, with practical applications across marine, offshore, and civil infrastructure sectors.

Bio-inspired Propulsion Systems: Inspired by natural locomotion mechanisms such as fish swimming and bird flight, my team investigates fundamental fluid mechanics phenomena to develop innovative propulsion technologies. Potential applications include underwater robotics, autonomous marine vehicles, and sustainable renewable-energy generation methods.

Machine Learning-enabled Digital Twins: By integrating numerical simulations, sensor fusion, and machine learning techniques, my research develops predictive and adaptive digital twin platforms. These real-time simulation environments enhance operational safety, improve efficiency, and promote sustainability in marine operations, offshore engineering, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure asset management.

Human-centred AI, Inclusive Technologies: Extending digital twin technology beyond traditional engineering contexts, my work leverages advanced image processing and machine learning techniques to digitally represent human physical and emotional states. This research supports innovations in inclusive education, maritime training, and athletic performance enhancement.

Going forward, my vision is to advance technological innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration and international partnerships, and translate research into practical outcomes that support sustainability, inclusion, and societal well-being. To realise this vision, I have co-founded two Strathclyde Centres for Doctoral Training: one dedicated to ocean forecasting through Artificial Intelligence (AI), and another focused on inclusive education using human-centred AI technologies. Through these initiatives, I am actively working towards building collaborative communities, mentoring the next generation of research leaders, and delivering meaningful societal impact.
