Ulrik Dam Nielsen

In 2005, Ulrik Dam Nielsen (M.Sc.) obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Section of Coastal, Maritime and Structural Engineering at DTU Mechanical Engineering.

In 2009, after four years as Post Doc. and assistant professor at DTU, Ulrik joined the staff of DTU Mechanical Engineering as an associate professor. He has since then been involved in research and teaching primarily about wave-ship interactions with a main focus on onboard monitoring and decision support systems for operational guidance and performance.

In his research, several topics are addressed, including analysis of full-scale measurements, in-situ estimation of the sea state at the location of an advancing vessel, fatigue damage accumulation in the hull girder, and numerical models for the prediction of ship responses.
