Shuo Mi has successfully passed his PhD viva, marking a significant milestone in his academic journey and a major contribution to the field of offshore aquaculture. His research has focused on developing high-fidelity fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations to improve the design, safety, and sustainability of open sea fish farming systems. Using OpenFOAM and integrating tools like MoorDyn and EndoBeams, Shuo created advanced numerical models that simulate the complex interactions between mooring lines, flexible nets, and fish behavior under dynamic sea conditions.

His work also investigates how fish swimming patterns affect water flow, oxygen distribution, and pathogen dispersion, key factors for fish welfare and environmental impact. Shuo has presented his findings at major conferences such as Aqua 2024 and Marine 2025, and to industry leaders including AKVA group. His research has been published in leading journals, including Ocean Engineering, Applied Ocean Research, and Computers and Electronics in Agriculture. Shuo has been supervised by Dr Avital.
