Profile
Main research interests are in the modeling of ocean waves and their interaction with various marine structures, e.g. ships, offshore structures, floating wind/wave-energy devices, marine aquaculture structures, etc.
He received a Ph.D. in marine hydrodynamics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2010. Before joining DTU, he worked in DNV and Sevan Marine in Norway on hydrodynamics and mooring design.
Funding: His research has been funded by the EU, Innovation Fund Denmark, Independent Research Fund Denmark, COWI Fonden, etc. He is the coordinator of CETPartnership's ESOMOOR (www.esomoor.eu) project.
Other services: Associate editor for ASME Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering; Editorial board member in Marine Structures and Ocean Engineering; Technical expert in IEC and Danish Standards. External examiner in NTNU and Newcastle (Singapore).
Expertise: ship and offshore hydrodynamics; wave-structure interaction; sloshing; boundary element method; floaters and mooring systems.
Offering MSc thesis projects on ship seakeeping/added resistance/stability; floating ocean energy systems; marine aquaculture systems; sloshing in liquid tanks; mooring dynamics, etc.
