About

Huanhuan has a background in applied mathematics and maritime engineering, with academic training that includes a PhD in Navigation and an MSc in Science from Wuhan University of Technology, China. She has held research positions at leading institutions, including Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and Liverpool John Moores University, before joining the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 as a Lecturer in Maritime Engineering.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of maritime safety, intelligent transport systems, and green and autonomous shipping. She focuses on: AI-enabled maritime risk modelling and situational awareness; low-carbon and energy-efficient shipping technologies; maritime cybersecurity; port decarbonisation strategies; and the integration of clean energy systems in onshore and offshore maritime environments. Her work combines data-driven modelling, real-time prediction, and system simulation to improve maritime resilience, sustainability, and operational efficiency.

Huanhuan is a reviewer for over 50 leading academic journals and has published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles, including high-impact papers in Transportation Research Part C, D, and E and Reliability Engineering & System Safety. She has contributed to multiple international projects across Europe and Asia, leading and supporting work in areas such as autonomous navigation, ship motion prediction, and green port operations.

In recognition of her research excellence, she received the Vice-Chancellor’s Rising Star Award in Research from Liverpool John Moores University in December 2024.

Huanhuan teaches in the areas of maritime systems engineering, autonomous systems, transport modelling, and research methods.
