Post-doctoral Fellow
rotor aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, the design and noise mitigation method for UAVs and eVTOL aircrafts.
Mr. MA Zhida received his B.Eng degree in Aircraft Design and Engineering from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (China) in 2018. His final year project was the design and implementation of a small-scale UAV with distributed electric propulsion. He obtained his M.Sc degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2020. He started his PhD study at HKUST in Sept. 2020.
