Background
Miss Qian Xiao is a fourth-year Dphil in a research group based in Oxford Department of Engineering. She completed her undergraduate degree and academic master in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering in 2017 and 2020. She then gained fellowship and research assistantship from Mechanical Engineering department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After conducting several months of research, she joined Oxford in 2020.
Teaching
First year: Statics, Materials and Solid mechanics, thermodynamics.
Second year: Elastic Analysis of Structures, Mechanical vibrations,Mechanical of Materials, Applied fluid mechanics, thermodynamics.
Research Interest
Miss Qian Xiao’s main research interest is fluid and structure mechanics. She works on the study of statics and vibration analysis of floating structures, wave dynamics, wave-body interactions and computational fluid dynamics. In particular, she now works on the drift induced by surface gravity waves in the ocean and investigate the turbulence effects of bluff body on its drift behaviour.
