Dr. José Miguel Rodrigues

Prof. Dr. José Miguel Rodrigues is a Senior Research Scientist at the Department of Ships and Ocean Structures, SINTEF Ocean, and an Adjunct Associate Professor at The Arctic University of Norway. He earned his Master’s degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and his Ph.D. from the Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon in 2008 and 2016, respectively. He served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon (2016–2017) and joined SINTEF Ocean in 2017. He is a Member of the Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC), having been part of the Offshore Renewables specialist group and currently in the Loads technical committee. His research is centred around hydrodynamics and wave-structure interaction of floating vessels focusing on both numerical and experimental studies, including empirical estimation and numerical solutions to determine wave induced second-order loads. He is mainly engaged in wave energy conversion, and damaged stability and progressive flooding of floating vessels. He also regularly performs tank tests and numerical studies of, among others, very large floating structures such as floating bridges, floating offshore wind turbines, and Floating Production Storage and Offloading units.
