Biography
Dr Ryan (Qiuxiang) Huang works on multi-disciplinary research that crosses engineering and biology. He is interested in developing multi-scale coupling techniques for scientific and high-performance computing, including fluid-structure interactions with applications in hemodynamics, electrophysiology, and digital twins. During his PhD at the Flow Science Lab at the University of New South Wales Canberra (UNSW Canberra), he worked on developing fluid-structure interaction solvers for simulating collapsible blood vessels. From 2021 to 2023, he continued his research career at UNSW Canberra as a Research Associate. Currently, he is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Biomedical Technologies of the Queensland University of Technology, working on atherosclerosis, blood flow and its interactions with heart valves.
