Research Paper Published in 'Ocean Engineering': A Leap Forward

Heartfelt congratulations to Dr Lai’s team and Dr Lan on their seminal publication in ‘Ocean Engineering’. Their paper, ‘Strouhal number impact on propulsion efficiency in fully-active oscillating foils: Unpacking frequency, amplitude, and velocity relationships’, is not just a leap forward in marine technology but also holds immense potential for transforming oscillating foils technology across diverse realms, from the depths of the ocean to the intricacies of flapping flight.

Dr Lan Discusses Interdisciplinary Education in Ministry of Education Interview

In a recent interview with the Ministry of Education, Dr Lan highlighted the innovative cross-disciplinary research at the Enable Center, founded by Professor Charles W. Tu. The centre gained attention last year when Dr Lan collaborated with Dr Ching-Wen Tan on an unprecedented project that merged the fields of entomology and mechanical engineering. Intrigued by the novel approach, Professor Tu asked Dr Lan to join him for this exclusive interview.
