Ogechukwu Nwafor

I am a PhD student at the Naval Architecture Group at KTH, supervised by Associate Prof. Karl Garme, co-supervised by Assistant Prof. Abbas Dashtimanesh and Researcher Mikael Palmquist.

Driven by an unwavering passion for maritime engineering and research, I am a Doctoral student specializing in modelling and effect analysis of ship dynamics and seakeeping. My area of research revolves around developing comprehensive models for predicting ship motions and studying their profound impact on work and mission performance at sea. Developing my skills in time domain simulation and embracing the challenges of direct stability assessment, particularly emphasising the latest intact stability code IMO/SGISC, I take great pleasure in exploring the details of ship behavior and grasping how different factors impact a vessel's performance on the open waters.

My research aims to contribute to the advancement of ship design, operation, and safety, as well as enhance our understanding of the complex interactions between vessels and the maritime environment.
