R. Cengiz Ertekin is a professor of Marine

fluid-structure interaction
problems of floating and fixed bodies.

Early life and education

R. Cengiz Ertekin was born and raised in

U.C. Berkeley
.

Professional career

Most of Ertekin's professional career has been dedicated to academic work; however, he also has several years of experience of working in the industry.

In 1985, Ertekin joined the Research Center of

Professor in 1994.[7]
The Ocean Engineering Department of UH was established by Professor Charles Bretschneider in 1966 and is one of the first of its kind in the US.

At the

School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
and the Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering (ORE, formerly Ocean Engineering). In the era of PCs, for example, Professor Ertekin played a key role in transferring the department from one focusing mostly on field and experimental studies, to also a leading institute in modern and computational hydrodynamics. The department was the host of some of the internationally leading conferences, workshops and meetings (details given below), mostly organized and chaired by Cengiz.

After almost 30 years, he retired from the University of Hawaiʻi in September 2015. Starting in March 2014, he became a guest professor at the College of Shipbuilding Engineering of Harbin Engineering University in China.

Teaching and advising

Ertekin has taught numerous courses on

hydrodynamics and ocean engineering at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and at University of California, Berkeley
.

At the Ocean Engineering Department of the University of Hawaiʻi, Ertekin developed and taught several courses including Nonlinear water wave theories (ORE 707), Hydrodynamics of Fluid-Body Interaction (ORE 609), Buoyancy and Stability (ORE 411), and Marine Renewable Energy (ORE 677), to name a few. At the University of California, Berkeley, he taught Ship Statics (NAOE 151) and Ship Resistance and Propulsion (NAOE 152A).

At the University of Hawaiʻi, Ertekin advised and mentored over 50 graduate students.[8][9][10][11][12]

Research

Ertekin's research on Marine

oil spills.[13]

The Green-Naghdi water wave theory

The Green-Naghdi (GN) equations are nonlinear water wave equations that were originally developed by

conservation laws
. Although the GN equations were developed very recently (compared to other wave theories), they are well-known and fairly understood by the research and scientific community.

Ertekin's Ph.D. advisor and dissertation committee chair was Professor

pressures
. He named the equations, The Green-Naghdi Equations.

Upon completion of his Ph.D., Ertekin continued research on the GN equations. He has patiently introduced the GN equations to his

wave energy devices (see e.g.[31]
), among many others.

Hydroelasticity and VLFS

The

VLFS
.

Starting 1990's, Ertekin pioneered the research on

three dimensions. Ertekin has also introduced new approaches and equations to study this topic, including the use of nonlinear water wave models to analyse the hydroelastic response of VLFS of mat type (see e.g.,[32][33][34] and [35]
).

His work and research on

Publications and professional services

Ertekin has over 150 peer-reviewed publications.[41]

He has been on the editorial board of more than ten internationally leading journals since early 1990s (see e.g.,[42][43] and [44]), and editor of several special issues in various journals, see e.g. Renewable Energy: Leveraging Ocean and Waterways special issue of Applied Ocean Research journal (2009).[45] He was the co-editor-in-chief of Elsevier's Ocean Engineering journal (2006–2010),[46] and he is the founding editor-in-chief of Springer's Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy.[47] Ertekin has been keynote speaker of several leading meetings and conferences, see e.g.[48] and.[49]
