The 3rd Conference of Global Chinese Scholars on Hydrodynamics (CCSH2026)

Xingya Feng is an Associate Research Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). He received his Bachelor degree from Hohai University in 2011 and Ph.D. degrees the National University of Singapore in 2016. From 2016 to 2019, he worked as a Research Engineer in Deepwater Technology Research Centre at Bureau Veritas and then a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford. Since he joined SUSTech, he has led the Hydrodynamics Lab at the Department of Ocean Science and Engineering. Since 2021, he has been a committee member of the Hydrodynamics Group of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and since 2023, he has served as an academic committee member of the National CFD Conference on Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering.

Xingya Feng’s research interests include nonlinear potential flow theory, higher-order boundary element methods, numerical wave tanks, and offshore renewable energy. He has published over 40 SCI-indexed journal papers, including leading journals such as Advanced Science, JFM, CE, PRF, CMAME, PoF, with two ESI Highly Cited papers and one Editor’s Feature. His scientific contribution lies in two aspects, one is the comprehensive demonstration of extreme wave formation mechanism and the other is the development of a fully nonlinear numerical wave tank model. The former provides various scientific explanation of ocean extreme wave, and the latter provides advanced tools to study nonlinear wave-structure interactions. He has received the Best Paper Award at the 2026 OMAE, the Best Paper Award at the IAHR-Coastlab20, and the 2024 JHD Highly Cited Paper Award. He has led more than 10 research projects from UK Newton Fund, Hong Kong RGC, National Research and Development Program of China and Shenzhen Overseas High-end Talent Program. He has served as a session chair at international conferences such as ISOPE and OMAE, and is an editorial board member of the Journal of Hydrodynamics.
