Odd M. Faltinsen received his Ph.D. in naval architecture and marine engineering from the University of Michigan in 1971 and has been a professor of marine hydrodynamics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology since 1974. Dr Faltinsen has experience with a broad spectrum of hydrodynamically related problems for ships and sea structures, including hydroelastic problems. He has published about 300 scientific publications and is the author of the textbooks Sea Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures and Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles, published by Cambridge University Press in 1990 and 2005, respectively. Faltinsen is a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Engineering, USA and a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
