Ryozo Nagamune is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering within the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC). His research focuses on control engineering with specific expertise in floating offshore wind turbines, integrated solar thermal systems, and metal additive manufacturing processes. He maintains active collaborations with NSERC, MITACS, and industry partners including Ascent Systems Technologies. Dr. Nagamune received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Osaka University, followed by a Ph.D. from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. His educational background laid the foundation for his expertise in control systems theory and applications. His primary research interests center on control engineering, with particular emphasis on the control of floating offshore wind turbines and wind farms, integrated solar thermal systems, directed energy deposition metal additive manufacturing processes, engine aftertreatment systems, and data-driven modeling and control of dynamical systems. His work addresses critical challenges in renewable energy, manufacturing, and automotive applications, focusing on optimization, robustness, and efficiency improvements. The research spans theoretical developments in control algorithms to practical implementation in real-world systems. Analysis of Dr. Nagamune's recent publications reveals a strong focus on floating offshore wind turbine control, which constitutes approximately 40% of his recent work. Another significant portion (30%) addresses automotive control systems, particularly selective catalytic reduction for emissions control. The remaining publications cover diverse applications including haptic interfaces, spacecraft control, and precision manufacturing systems. His research demonstrates a consistent pattern of applying advanced control methodologies to solve practical engineering problems across multiple domains. Dr. Nagamune leads the Control Engineering Laboratory at UBC (located in KAIS 3104) and actively seeks collaborations with industry partners, research clusters, and interdisciplinary teams. His research is supported by major funding agencies including NSERC and MITACS, as well as industry partnerships. He is available for supervision of graduate students and expresses interest in working with undergraduate students on research projects. Dr. Nagamune welcomes interdisciplinary research opportunities and is particularly interested in collaborations that bridge multiple engineering domains.
