Elma Ramic

Elma Ramic is a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, University of Southern Denmark, focusing on motion sickness in offshore wind industry vessels. Her work bridges academic research with practical applications through projects like ShippingLab II and the SDU Maritime Research Platform.

• Research Areas: Structural Engineering, Motion Sickness, Offshore Wind Industry, Naval Architecture, Ergonomics, Operation and Maintenance.

Her research examines the role of multi-degree-of-freedom vessel motion in provoking seasickness, leveraging her master’s background in structural engineering and prior industry experience. Publications include empirical studies and reports on motion sickness prevention, data acquisition, and crew comfort optimization.

Active collaborations with researchers like Maria Lützen and institutions in maritime engineering highlight her integration into broader networks. She contributes to projects addressing lifecycle costs, digital twins, and human-centered maritime design.
