Vygantas Bagočius

Dr. Vygantas Bagočius is a Lecturer at Klaipeda University in the Department of Marine Engineering, Faculty of Marine Technology and Natural Sciences. He also serves as the Head of Construction Engineering and Port Structures Programs at the university. His academic career spans over 15 years with continuous research contributions in construction engineering and infrastructure planning.

Dr. Bagočius's research focuses on several key areas:

• Multi-criteria decision making applications in infrastructure development
• Deep-water port planning and development in the Baltic Sea region
• Offshore wind energy systems and foundation design
• Construction engineering with emphasis on port structures
• Sustainable construction materials and methods

His publication record shows a consistent research trajectory with recent work (2024-2025) focusing on optimization of offshore wind power plant foundations and sustainable construction materials. Earlier publications established his expertise in port development and LNG terminal location selection using advanced decision-making methodologies. His research demonstrates a clear progression from theoretical decision-making frameworks to practical applications in Baltic Sea infrastructure development.

Notable research contributions include:

• Development of integrated MCDM models for deep-water port selection
• Application of WASPAS and AHP methods to wind turbine and wind farm optimization
• Analysis of seawater impacts on hydraulic concrete structures
• Recent work on sustainable construction materials including alkali-activated systems

Dr. Bagočius collaborates extensively with colleagues at Klaipeda University, particularly with researchers like Edmundas Kazimieras Zavadskas and Zenonas Turskis. His work bridges theoretical decision science with practical engineering applications, making significant contributions to infrastructure planning in the Eastern Baltic region.
