Xuanting Hao
Assistant Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Fluid motions at the atmosphere-ocean interface
Hao seeks to understand the small-scale fluid motions at the atmosphere-ocean interface. He builds physics-based and data-driven models of air-sea processes, such as wind turbulence, surface gravity waves and sunlight propagation – and their interactions. Applications include weather forecasting, renewable energy harvesting and marine infrastructure protection.
Capsule Bio:
Before joining Â鶹´«Ã½ in 2022, Hao was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Minnesota. He also earned his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota.
