About

The Ship and Marine Structure Lab focuses on developing analytic procedures to assess hydrodynamic and structural responses of marine structures such as ships, ocean renewable energy systems, offshore wind systems, mooring systems and power cables. Building atop developed procedures, the research interest covers areas including:  

1. design of marine renewable energy systems,  

2. structural integrity assessment, 

3. numerical simulations of marine structures’ global responses, 

4. fatigue analysis of moorings and cables.    

As of Spring 2026, we are actively looking for new members with interest in: 

• Hydrodynamics and motion analysis of floating offshore structures (ships, platforms, wind, wave, and ocean current systems)

• Structural design and integrity analysis of marine power cables and mooring systems

• Concept design and testing for marine renewable energy systems

• Fatigue and integrity analysis of marine structures using the finite element method (FEM)

• Developing experimental measurement technologies for marine applications
