Dr Hoa Xuan Nguyen is a civil engineer specialising in fluid–structure interaction and advanced computational methods for offshore renewable energy applications. As a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Oxford’s Environmental Fluid Mechanics Group, he integrates tidal-rotor models with fixed and floating platform designs to investigate environmental loading and structural design challenges in offshore tidal energy structures. He obtained his PhD from Trinity College Dublin in 2022, has led a Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI)-funded project, published research articles, and now aims to integrate computer vision into next-generation fluid-structure modelling.
