Biography:
Prof. Decheng Wan
received his Ph.D
from
Shanghai Jiao
Tong University (SJTU), China in 1994. He became a lecturer of
Shanghai University in 1994, and was promoted to be an associate professor of
Shanghai University in 1996. After successively worked as a research fellow of
the Royal Society at University College London, UK, a senior research fellow at
National University of Singapore, and a Wissenschaftliche
Angestellter at Dortmund University, Germany from 1997 to
2005, he returned to Shanghai and was appointed as a full professor of Shanghai
Jiao Tong University in 2006. He was selected as a distinguished professor of
Shanghai Eastern Scholar in 2008, and promoted as a chair professor of Chang
Jiang Scholar (Top Professor in China) in 2014, and distinguished professor of
Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2015, Shanghai excellent academic
leader in 2017, etc. Currently, Prof. Wan is Director of Computational Marine
Hydrodynamics Lab (CMHL, http://dcwan.sjtu.edu.cn/) at SJTU. Prof. Wan is now the chair of
ISOPE International Hydrodynamic Committee, member of Advisor Committee (AC) of
International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC), associate
editor-in-chief of Journal of Hydrodynamics, and member of editorial board of
Ocean Engineering and Applied Ocean Research, etc.
His research interest is mainly
on computational marine and coastal hydrodynamics, numerical marine basin,
nonlinear wave theory, wave loads on structures, numerical analysis of riser
vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and platform vortex-induced motion (VIM),
fluid-structure interaction, offshore wind turbine and other offshore renewable
resources, etc. In these areas, he has published over 580 papers and carried
out more than 50 projects on marine hydrodynamics and computational
hydrodynamics, has delivered over 100 invited or keynote presentations in
international conferences. His remarkable work of development of numerical
solvers in ship and ocean engineering have been recognized by the world-wide
researchers in the field of marine hydrodynamics. Prof. Wan has been selected
as World's Top 2% Scientists since 2020. He is awarded the Most Cited Chinese
Researchers every year since 2018 by Elsevier, received CH Kim Award in 2020, ISOPE
Award in 2020, Best paper of Moan-Faltinsen Award in 2020, etc.
