I joined Animal Flight Lab in March 2015. Together with Dr. Per Henningsson, I am going to study the manoeuvring flights of insect and bird in the wind tunnel to assess the performance and cost.
I came from Hao Liu laboratory, School of Engineering in Chiba University, Japan, where I worked on aerodynamics of insect and bird flights (fruit fly, butterfly, hummingbird, etc.). I have utilised a numerical method called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with which you can obtain three dimensional flow field as well as the instantaneous aerodynamic forces (such as lift and drag) acting on the animal.
