I am Mohammad Motallebi, born on November 21, 1994, in Tehran, Iran. I hold an M.Sc. in Coastal, Ports, and Marine Structures Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic University), where I graduated with high distinction. My master's research, supervised by Prof. Dr. Hassan Ghassemi, focused on the hydrodynamics of floating wind turbine platforms, specifically using numerical methods such as the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This work culminated in several published papers and conference presentations, significantly contributing to advancements in fluid-structure interactions and renewable energy technology. During my M.Sc. studies, I developed a comprehensive understanding of Dynamics of Marine Structures, Design and Construction Principles of Marine Structures, Marine Hydraulics, and Coastal Engineering. I excelled in research-based and project-based courses, which equipped me with a strong interdisciplinary background and the ability to tackle complex engineering problems.
Currently, I am a PhD candidate at University College Cork, working on the FlowDyn Project (2024-2027) under the supervision of Dr. Jimmy Murphy. Funded by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), this project addresses the challenges associated with dynamic cables in offshore wind power systems. My role involves conducting wave basin tests, scaling, error benchmarking, and instrumentation, aiming to develop comprehensive benchmarks and tools for analyzing the performance of dynamic cables. With a strong background in fluid mechanics and marine engineering, I am committed to advancing sustainable energy solutions and enhancing the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy technologies.
