Dr. Sebastian Schreier

Biography

Sebastian graduated from the University of Rostock, Germany, with a diploma in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering in 2005. He began research work on liquid sloshing at the Chair of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rostock, where he obtained his doctoral degree in Engineering from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology in 2009. From 2009 to 2010, Sebastian spent a year as a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Global Center of Excellence program on Aquaculture of Bluefin Tuna and other Cultured Fish at Kinki University, Nara, Japan, where he investigated flow in net cages. He returned to the University of Rostock as a Senior Research Assistant to continue his experimental research on liquid sloshing in tanks and to teach bachelor and master courses in various Ocean Engineering subjects. In October 2016, he joined TU Delft as an Assistant Professor of Ship Hydromechanics. His expertise lies in experimental investigations of fluid-structure interaction across time length scales, with ranges from ultra-large floating structures to sloshing and impacts. His research focuses on fluid flow influences on structural response and hydrodynamic loads, employing analytical models and physical experiments in towing tanks and dedicated sloshing test rigs. His recent work includes the development of test setups and sensor measurement techniques for spatial resolution in pressure measurements and the introduction of Particle Image Velocimetry as a standard tool in towing tank experiments.
