Research Interests: ^top

Research interests include investigating free-surface hydrodynamics for analysis and design of high-performance naval craft and renewable-energy devices.

Theoretical effort is focused on accurate description of the flow about marine vessels.

Numerical research employs finite-volume and boundary element techniques to solve equations appropriate to govern the performance of ships maneuvering in waves, and energy devices and structures that operate in the ocean.
