معرفی
Dr. Zihao Wang is a Lecturer at the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, University of Sydney. His research focuses on autonomous systems, particularly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for agricultural pest control, with extensions into biomedical microfluidics and satellite technology. He holds a PhD (2021) on Intelligent UAVs for Pest Bird Control and a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours Class 1, 2014).
Research Focus
Dr. Wang’s work integrates aerospace engineering, biomimetics, and autonomous systems to solve real-world challenges. Primary domains include:
- Development of UAV-based bird deterrent systems using psychological warfare tactics
- Biomedical microfluidic platforms for thrombosis modeling
- Satellite attitude estimation and fault recovery systems
- Robotic aerial manipulation and perching mechanisms
Publications Overview
His multidisciplinary publications span UAV applications in agriculture (bird psychology, swarm systems), aerospace (satellite control, magnetorquers), and biomedical engineering (microfluidic thrombosis models). Recent work shows increasing convergence of autonomous systems with healthcare technology.
