Yi Qiu’s main areas of research are biodynamics, vehicle seating dynamics and ride comfort. He is particularly interested in combined human-seat modelling, vibration transmission via multi-input channels and their applications in vehicle dynamics and ride comfort. His other research interests include finite element methods and multi-body dynamics with application in vehicle ride analysis, and combined mechanical and electrical control system modelling and analysis.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) for organic waste management and renewable energy production, especially optimisation of digestion process e.g. via selective trace element supplementation, and manipulation of microbially-mediated pathways methanogenesis
Mixed-culture fermentation for bio-based chemical production with integration of downstream recovery processes, especially on selective carboxylic acid production from protein-rich wastes
CO2 biomethanisation, especially in-situ hydrogen addition new project to be created
