Personal statement
Atilla Incecik is Professor of Offshore Engineering. During the last sixteen years he served as the Head of Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering, and Associate Principal and the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. Professor Incecik’s research activities include the development of hydrodynamic design and analysis tools and model testing of marine and offshore engineering systems, including marine renewable energy devices. Professor Incecik was the Research Manager of Industrial Doctoral Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) and is a Chair Professor at Zhejiang University. Professor Incecik was Editor-in-Chief of Ocean Engineering Journal between 2006 and 2023. In 2019 Professor Incecik was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden in recognition of his research on green shipping and environmental sustainability. In 2022, Professor Incecik was recipient of The Royal Institution of Naval Architects’ William Froude Medal awarded for making a conspicuous contribution to naval architecture and/or shipbuilding. The William Froude Medal is the Institution’s highest award for professional achievement. In 2022 Professor Incecik was awarded the Confederation of European Maritime Technology Societies (CEMT) award in recognition of his ‘significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the field of ocean engineering’.
