Morten Bech Kramer is an Associate Professor in the Department of the Built Environment at Aalborg University, part of The Faculty of Engineering and Science. His research focuses on wave energy converters, numerical modeling of ocean energy systems, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and hydrodynamic interactions in marine environments. He leads the Ocean and Coastal Engineering Research Group and contributes to the BLUE – Marine & Maritime Research initiative. Key projects include the Competitive Renewable Energy Platforms Based on Shipbuilding Methods (2023–2026) as PI, and collaborations on the Wavestar and AquaBuOY wave energy converters. His work spans experimental testing, numerical validation, and optimization of renewable energy systems. Kramer has supervised 2 PhD students and contributed to over 117 publications since 2001, including high-impact studies on CFD optimization and wave energy modeling standards. His research has been highlighted in media such as North Sea Region funds ocean energy pilots scale-up (2018) and Danskere bygger verdens største testfacilitet til bølgekraft (2020). Kramer is actively involved in international initiatives like the IEA Ocean Energy Systems Task 10, advancing global standards for wave energy modeling and validation. His technical expertise includes hydrodynamic analysis, power take-off system design, and reliability assessment of offshore energy infrastructure. Kramer’s work bridges theoretical models with practical applications, driving innovation in marine renewable energy technologies.
