Jie Yuan

Dr. Jie Yuan is an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) at the University of Southampton, specializing in aerospace structures and nonlinear dynamics. He holds a PhD from the University of Bristol (2016) and has industry experience at Airbus UK and research roles at Imperial College London. He is affiliated with the Computational Engineering and Design Group and Dynamics Group.

Education:

• PhD in Aerospace Structures, University of Bristol (2016)

Research Focus: Dr. Yuan develops computational methods for nonlinear aerospace systems, friction dynamics, vibration control, and uncertainty quantification. His work bridges experimental validation (3D SLDV) with theoretical frameworks like Bayesian inference and Koopman operators to solve complex aeroelastic challenges.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2024-2025) emphasize data-driven approaches for aeroelastic stability, friction damping in turbomachinery, and energy harvesting. Earlier work (2015-2016) focused on probabilistic methods for mistuned bladed discs and aircraft design optimization.

Awards & Honors:

• Research Fellowship, Royal Academy of Engineering/Leverhulme Trust (2023)
• Fellow, Higher Education Academy (2022)
• Chartered Engineer, RAeS (2021)
• Best Paper Award (2021)
• Fellowship, Royal Aeronautic Society (2025 forthcoming)

Professional Activities: Editor for the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems (2023-2024) and frequent speaker at international conferences on friction dynamics and aerospace structures.
