Marc Perlin is a Professor Emeritus in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on nonlinear water-wave dynamics, coastal engineering, and drag-reduction technologies. He has conducted extensive experimental studies on energy dissipation and contact-line dynamics associated with breaking waves using non-intrusive techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). His recent efforts include fluid dynamics research related to sloshing LNG carriers and nature-assisted erosion-accretion dredging programs designed to resuspend sediments for maintaining harbors and coastlines. Perlin has published multiple papers on various aspects of wave dynamics and fluid mechanics, demonstrating his expertise in hydrodynamics and marine systems. He also teaches several courses related to marine hydrodynamics, fluid mechanics, and sedimentation, contributing significantly to the academic landscape in his field at the University of Michigan.
