Jeffrey Falzarano

Jeffrey Falzarano serves as Professor in the Department of Ocean Engineering within Texas A&M University's College of Engineering, specializing in marine hydrodynamics and ship dynamics.

His educational credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Engineering, University of Michigan (1990)
• M.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan (1989)
• M.S.E. in Applied Mechanics, University of Michigan (1987)
• M.S.E. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, University of Michigan (1985)
• B.S., Webb Institute (1982)

Falzarano's research spans critical areas of ocean engineering:

• Autonomous surface vessels and icebreaking ship design
• Hydrodynamics and dynamic stability of offshore platforms
• System identification for marine dynamical systems
• Wave-structure interactions and hull-form optimization
• Nonlinear vibration analysis for extreme loading prediction

His 2014-2015 publications demonstrate consistent focus on computational ship dynamics, particularly roll damping prediction methodologies, parametric rolling analysis in irregular seas, and genetic algorithm applications for hull optimization, emphasizing time-domain simulation techniques.

Professional recognition includes:

• Elected Fellow of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (2005)
• Elected Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (2005)
