I am looking forward for collaborations for post- or under- graduate theses (BSc, MSc or PhD).
Main topics of interests:
Based in Finite Element Method, Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Keywords: oil and gas structures (semisubmersible, TLP, spar, jacket, VLFS, FPSO), offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters, risers, pipelines, utility networks, mooring lines, cables, port design.
Main topics of interests:
- Numerical analysis for the design of coastal and offshore structures (fixed bottom or floating) and applications (e.g. oil and gas structures, offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters, port design, coastal structures).
- Numerical analysis for the design of in-service conditions (installation, operation, maintenance, decommissioning) for coastal and offshore structures and applications.
- Numerical analysis for the study, early detection, prediction and prevention of coastal morphodynamic processes (e.g. erosion, flooding).
- Natural hazard-structure-interaction methods.
- Feasibility study for 'Blue growth' success.
- Isogeometric analysis for the design of marine structures.
