Bio

Hao Hao is a Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. His research focuses on fluid–structure interactions, with applications in fluid-induced damage and renewable energy. His broader research theme is to understand how transient and multiphase fluid phenomena interact with engineering structures, and to develop analytical and computational approaches to predict the resulting loads, deformation and damage.

He studied Mathematics with Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics at Imperial College London (BSc, 2017–2020), followed by an MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering (2020–2021) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (2022–2026). During his undergraduate studies, he developed a particular interest in fluid mechanics and computational methods and was awarded an MIT International Research Opportunity Undergraduate (IROP) bursary in 2019. His MSc was fully funded by Equinor, and his PhD was fully funded by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. His PhD research investigated droplet-impact-induced erosion on coated wind turbine blades.
