About the Author
This author profile presents academic background, research interests, and technical expertise in naval architecture, marine engineering, computational ship hydrodynamics, and ship design.
Naval Architecture Researcher and Author
I am a naval architecture researcher and master’s student specializing in ship structures, computational ship hydrodynamics, and hull-form development. My research focuses on the numerical analysis of vessel performance, free-surface flows, wave–ship interaction, and the effects of shallow or confined waters.
My work combines CFD simulation, parametric hull-form modelling, engineering interpretation, and workflow automation. I use numerical and geometric tools to investigate how hull geometry, operating conditions, and modelling assumptions influence resistance, vessel motions, and overall hydrodynamic performance.
Selected applications of this work are presented in the Naval Architecture Projects section, while related technical subjects and research literature are examined through Research Reviews and Technical Guides.

Research Interests
Parametric Hull-Form Design
Parametric development and systematic modification of ship hull forms using CAESES and Rhino, with emphasis on geometry–performance relationships and hydrodynamic design improvement.
CFD Methods and Numerical Modelling
Development and application of OpenFOAM and STAR-CCM+ workflows for free-surface flow simulation, resistance prediction, mesh assessment, and numerical post-processing.
Wave–Ship Interaction
Investigation of vessel motions, added resistance, and hydrodynamic response in regular waves, with particular attention to heave, pitch, and operating-condition effects.
Shallow-Water and Confined-Water Effects
Study of water-depth and lateral-confinement effects on ship resistance, wave patterns, vessel motions, and overall hydrodynamic performance.
