Professor Marc in het Panhuis is Director of the Institute for Innovative Materials and Professor of Surf Engineering and Science at the University of Wollongong. His research develops cutting-edge technology for water sports equipment through the Surf Flex Lab, which combines CAD design, CNC machining, 3D printing, and sensor-based performance analysis. Key innovations include instrumented surfboards, mechanical 'fingerprinting' of equipment, and humpback whale-inspired hydrofoils.
He leads projects on hydrodynamic pressure measurement, composite material optimization, and fin-surfboard integration. His work has been funded by internal university grants and industry partnerships focused on sustainable manufacturing and performance enhancement.
