Mr. Wojciech Misiag

Dr. Eng. Misiag has over 20 years of professional experience. He started his carrier with Gdansk University of Technology, working on panel methods, software development projects and training of mariners using manned ship models. From the end of 1989 he studied and worked in Japan . After obtaining his degree he worked as an assistant professor at Hiroshima University , working on ship manoeuvrability prediction, human factors in ship nautical operations and ship handling simulators development. From 1994 he worked at a consulting company Yusen Marine Science Inc., where he developed real-time ship- handling simulators, performed mathematical modelling of ship manoeuvring motions and advised clients on the nautical safety of harbours and waterways.
From 1998 he worked at Gdansk University of Technology as an adjunct professor, teaching computational fluid dynamics, software development and numerical methods. At the same time he was employed at Ship Research and Design Centre ( Gdansk Model Basin ) as a specialist in ship manoeuvring, where he developed simulation models, performed ship model tests for manoeuvrability design and developed technology for captive manoeuvring model tests. He advised on manoeuvrability aspects of ship design and was involved in international projects related to standardisation of naval ship manoeuvrability and to the performance of ships in harbours.
From 2005 he worked for Foundation for Safety of Navigation and Environment Protection as a specialist in ship manoeuvring. He prepared and managed the ship handling training for shipmasters and marine pilots using manned model technology. He participated in the development of new training ship models and training programmes. He also performed model tests on ship manoeuvring in harbour areas and advised on the novel designs of ships with POD propulsion-control systems.
From June 2007 he has been working for Alkyon Hydraulic Consultancy & Research. He advises on the development of the waterways and harbour systems from the nautical safety view point, develops simulation models for ship manoeuvring and for ship motions, and works on the mathematical and physical modelling of ship behaviour in harbour areas.

Mr. Misiag has experience in performing nautical studies on harbour and waterway safety, combined with practical and theoretical knowledge of modelling of ship behaviour in harbour and waterway areas.
