Topic: Research on Marine Technology at Chalmers and Welcome your contributions to Journal of Ocean Engineering

Lecturer: Professor Jonas W Ringsberg, Chalmers University of Technology

Time: September 21st, 9:00-10:00, UTC+8

Venue: Lecture Hall, 9th Floor, Transpotation Building, Yujiatou Campus

Biography: Professor Jonas Ringsberg is a professor of marine structures and the head of the Division of Marine Technology at Chalmers University of Technology. He is a member of RINA (F-RINA), SNAME (SNAME-Fellow), ASME, and member of the Executive Committee (EC) of the ASME Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering Division (OOAE). He has been a member of several ISSC committees since 2006 and has been the chair of some of them: 2006-2012 Fatigue & Fracture (III.2), 2012-2018 Quasi-Static Response (chair, entire period) (II.1), and 2018-2025 Ultimate Strength (III.1) (chair, 2022-2025). He has been the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Ocean Engineering since the 1st of January 2024. He is the Associate Editor of the Ships and Offshore Structures and the Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy. He is active in research within several areas that relate to marine structural engineering and materials science, e.g., structural integrity analysis, constitutive material modelling of materials and their characteristics, ice mechanics, Arctic engineering and transportation, sustainable engineering, wind-assisted ship propulsion, marine renewable energy (wave and wind), autonomous shipping, energy modelling and performance analysis of ship systems, and computation methods for fluid-structure-interaction analysis.

Abstract: This lecture will mainly introduce the latest research of the Department of Marine Technology at Chalmers University of Technology and share experiences from serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Ocean Engineering. The Department of Marine Technology at Chalmers University of Technology has a solid foundation in the field of naval architecture and marine engineering, and its current research covers multiple directions such as ship design, marine structures, hydrodynamics, maritime operations, and safety. This lecture will also focus on presenting research in areas including renewable energy systems, autonomous shipping technology, hydrogen propulsion systems, and structural integrity assessment.

In addition, the lecture will conduct an in-depth discussion on the editorial process of the Journal of Ocean Engineering, and provide practical suggestions on how to write high-quality technical papers, guide peer review, and comply with publishing standards. It aims to help industry experts and researchers effectively transform technological innovations into internationally recognized academic achievements.
