Tomoki Takami

Degree

Ph. D. in Engineering (Osaka University, 2019)

Educational Contents

Undergraduate Course: Naval Architecture, Hydrostatics

Graduate Course: Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics

Research Interests

Research topics in relation to ocean waves and floating body dynamics, such as:

(i) Inverse estimation of incident waves based on measured ship responses (Wave buoy analogy).

(ii) Identification of model parameters (e.g. roll damping) that characterize the motion of interest using wave-induced ship response measurements.

(iii) Efficient extreme value prediction methods for nonlinear ship responses, such as parametric rolling and hydroelastic responses.

Message for Students

Our research topics are concerned with the behaviour of ships in waves, especially in severe sea conditions. How do actual maritime accidents happen? How can we prevent the accidents beforehand? You are encouraged to think about these questions. Creative ideas and concepts from you are highly welcome!
