Personal statement
Dr Myo Zin Aung is a Research Associate at the Maritime Safety Research Centre (MSRC) of the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME) at the University of Strathclyde since October 2021. He obtained his BEng (Naval Architecture) degree in 2016 from Myanmar Maritime University and continued his studies as a Japanese Government Scholarship (MEXT) student at Osaka University and received MEng (Global Architecture) and PhD degrees in 2018 and 2021 respectively. His doctoral research was focused on ship manoeuvring and control under extreme weather conditions to establish minimum propulsion power requirements under the EEDI regulations.
His research interest includes mathematical modelling of ship motions, environmental forces and propulsion plants, ship trajectory optimization and optimal control, ship design and optimization, computational fluid dynamic (CFD), machine learning and so on. Since he joined MSRC, he has been contributing to different research projects including SafePASS, HyShip, CMDC-NEPTUNE, TrAM, ShipFC and EcoShipyard.
