报告人简介：

Professor Qingwei Ma obtained BSc and MSc degrees in Engineering from Harbin Engineering University, PR China, in 1982 and 1984, respectively. He received his PhD degree from University College London, UK, in 1998.

After being a lecturer for several years in Ocean University of Qingdao (now Ocean University of China), he joined University College London as a Visiting Research Fellow in 1992 and then became a Research Fellow in 1994. In 2001, he was appointed as a Lecturer at the Robert Gordon University. Soon after, he joined the City University in 2002 as a Lecturer in Fluids Engineering and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in Fluids Engineering in 2004 and in 2007 was promoted to Reader.

He has been engaged in research on interaction between fluid/water-waves and structures since his study for MSc. In his early work, he studied the hydrodynamics of turbines/propellers and wave/current energy devices. Subsequently he worked on the hydrodynamics of offshore structures, simulation of steep waves and interaction between offshore structures and steep waves using finite element and boundary element methods. Recent interests have focused on prediction of responses of moored floating structures, such as SPARs and FPSOs, simulation of breaking waves and development of new numerical methods. He is now leading two research projects. One is about non-linear response of moored floating structures to steep waves funded by EPSRC and the other is about the interaction between 3D structures and breaking waves funded by the Leverhulme Trust. His group has very recently invented a numerical method called QALE-FEM, extended the MLPG method and developed the MLPG_R method. All of them have been used to simulate nonlinear water waves and their interaction with structures.
