Prof. Atilla Incecik Honoring Symposium on Hydrodynamic Design & Analysis of Marine and Offshore Systems
Prof. Atilla Incecik Honoring Symposium on Hydrodynamic Design & Analysis of Marine and Offshore Systems This Honoring Symposium recognizes the exceptional career and lasting impact of Professor Atilla Incecik of the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Over more than four decades, Professor Incecik has contributed significantly to advancing hydrodynamic analysis, ship & offshore platform design, and performance assessment, while also playing a leading role in the development of floating offshore wind and wave energy systems. His research has consistently addressed the challenges of green shipping, environmental sustainability, and the decarbonization of maritime transport.
Professor Incecik's contributions have been recognized internationally through the award of two of the most prestigious honors in the field: the William Froude Medal of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and the David W. Taylor Medal of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Beyond his scholarly achievements, he has been a dedicated educator, mentor, and leader, inspiring generations of researchers and practitioners worldwide. This symposium will showcase cutting-edge research in areas where Professor Incecik's influence has been most profound, while bringing together colleagues, collaborators, and students to celebrate his remarkable contributions to ocean engineering.
Topics:
- Hydrodynamics and Design of Floating Offshore Renewable Energy Systems, including floating offshore wind turbines, wave and tidal energy converters, floating photovoltaics, hybrid systems, mooring dynamics, and coupled wave–current interactions
- Green Shipping and Sustainable Ocean Engineering, including ship hydrodynamics, innovative hull designs, floating bridges and aquaculture systems, digital twins, marine robotics & environmental monitoring, and pathways toward decarbonization in maritime transport and oil and gas production

Prof. Kazuo Nishimoto Honoring Symposium on Future Offshore Technologies: Decarbonization & Digitalization
Professor Nishimoto founded two offshore research centers in collaboration with industry partners: the Numerical Offshore Tank (TPN) Laboratory, which integrates numerical simulation with physical wave tank for floating systems, and, more recently, the Offshore Technology Innovation Centre (OTIC), dedicated to advancing decarbonization processes and digitalization in future offshore systems.
He has also made significant contributions to the OMAE community over many years, authoring influential papers. This symposium commemorates his lasting contributions to OMAE and to the field of ocean engineering.
