Peter Wellens is an Associate Professor in the Department of Marine and Transport Technology. He studied Civil Engineering at Delft University. His thesis research focused on wave energy. He conducted his PhD research at Maritime Technology, in the Ship Hydromechanics section, collaborating with Computational Mechanics from the University of Groningen and a group of companies coordinated by MARIN. This research dealt with (generating) absorbing boundary conditions for waves in numerical computation domains, which are essential for the quality of longer numerical simulations involving waves and offshore structures. Following his PhD, Peter worked at Deltares, initially as a researcher in the Coastal Structures Waves department, and subsequently as the head of the group responsible for experimental facilities. Since 2016, Peter has been with the Ship Hydromechanics section, focusing on nonlinear wave forces on offshore structures. His research interests include extreme wave loads on ships with moderate forward speeds and various offshore structures, emphasizing interactions in free surface flows, ships, and nonlinear problems.
