NAVAL ARCHITECTURE & MARINE ENGINEERING

The NAME faculty include an integrative multi-disciplinary team of experts and researchers focusing on design and engineering analysis of marine vessels and offshore platforms. Current research areas encompass hydrodynamics, marine structures, fluid-structure interaction, dynamics and control, marine renewable energy, structural and hydro-acoustics. Marine vessels and offshore structures must maximize both energy and environmental efficiency (e.g., minimizing GHG emissions and noise pollution) to improve their sustainability. In that regard, the faculty develop and employ advanced tools and techniques for multiphysics and multiscale analysis, design optimization and control of intelligent and green marine vessels and offshore structures. The research area also places a strong emphasis on the education and mentoring of our graduate and undergraduate students by integrating teaching and research activities.
