Ogechukwu Nwafor

I am a PhD student at the KTH Centre for Naval Architecture, supervised by Prof. Karl Garme, and co-supervised by 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 at sea.

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.
