ORE Seminar: Marine Technology and Ocean Systems Engineering

December 15, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Mānoa Campus, HIG210

Dr. Nikolas Xiros Goldman Endowed Prof. Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, University of New Orleans; Dr. Xiros is a candidate for an open HNEI/ORE faculty position in Marine Energy Engineering Abstract: A holistic systems engineering approach has been employed over a period of more than 25 years to predict and improve performance and reliability in ship design, watercraft development and ocean engineering applications. The approach combines traditional approaches of process modeling and simulation, system identification, dynamics and control with concepts of probabilistic system analysis and design and most importantly methods and techniques of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Techniques like linear and nonlinear system analysis and synthesis (impulse response and transfer functions, phase portraits, Volterra series, Wiener G-functionals etc.) combine with neural networks, fuzzy logic and set theory to tackle coupled complex problems and challenges. The potential and motivation are presented on the basis of relevant ship design and maritime engineering applications for marine power-plants, propulsion, energy conversion, control systems etc. A number of experimental or field-testing platforms like dynamometers, boat models, scale prototypes etc. as well as detailed simulation studies for heat engines, electromechanical systems, applied hydrodynamics, autonomous watercraft etc. are employed for validation of the proposed approach and presented here to assess the strength and prospects of the hybrid approach.
