Personal profile

Biography

Jianjun Huang is currently a Research Associate (post-doc) working on the Blue Economy CRC project. Prior to this, he completed his PhD at the University of Western Australia (UWA), where he investigated wave-artificial reef interactions using both physical model tests and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations within the School of Earth and Oceans.

Jianjun’s expertise lies in nearshore wave-driven hydrodynamics and wave-structure interactions. His current research focuses on nature-based coastal protection solutions, particularly the role of flexible seaweed (kelp) in wave energy attenuation, using a combination of laboratory experiments and numerical modelling.
