Haibin achieved his MEng degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde in 2012, with a sound understanding of naval architecture, marine engineering and environment protection regulations, and undertook a series of naval architecture and marine engineering courses. In 2017, he obtained a PhD in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from this university through experimental testing and CFD simulating a carbon capture method to reduce the CO2 emission onboard ship to meet the IMO’s carbon emission reduction target by 2020. Prior to the Teaching Fellow role, he worked as a research associate focusing on research projects, e.g. SHIPLYS, TrAM, NH3CRAFT etc.

His research areas include Innovative green energy technologies, Renewable energy: solar and wind power, Alternative fuels: hydrogen, ammonia, biofuel, LNG, etc., Emission control solutions, Full electric vehicles, System simulation & analysis, Risk and safety analysis, Life cycle analysis, Digital twin modelling and Autonomous ship development.

He is contributing and has been contributing to the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate modules in the following topics: Heat exchange fundamentals, Thermaldynamics, Optimization methods, Life cycle analysis, Marine engine fundamentals, Marine piping systems and pumps, Ship design, Transmission and propulsion systems, Simulation and modelling etc.
