About
Yongqi Yuan
BEng, BEng (Hons)
I am currently a graduate student in the Department of Engineering Science and Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.
I study nonlinear wave forces and wave–structure interaction, combining computational fluid dynamics with theoretical analysis.
I am a co-founder and member of Nabla Lab (opens in a new tab), an open, independent, and curiosity-driven research community. We share a passion for science and engineering, value collaboration, and embrace the opportunities and challenges of the AI era.
