I am interested in wave-structure interactions with a particular focus on nonlinear wave loading on a vertical cylinder for monopile wind turbine foundations. This includes phase decomposition techniques (T. Adcock, T. Tang) and Stokes-type higher-order force model with machine learning approaches. I am also working on machine learning predictions...
I am interested in the application of data science methods to ocean engineering problems. My current research focuses on extreme events in fluid mechanics with an emphasis on rogue waves in the ocean, including data-driven predictions on extreme waves and extreme structural loading, considering leading-order physics such as nonlinear wave dynamics...
I am always fascinated by the rare but extremely large waves occurring in the open ocean. These gigantic waves are observed globally in the ocean but the nonlinear physics behind them varies at different locations. I am interested in all of these nonlinear physics that could potentially lead to a rogue wave in the ocean: Modulational Instability,...
