<p>Frédéric Dias is an applied mathematician with a PhD in Civil Engineering who has made numerous pioneering contributions during his career that have significantly advanced the field of fluid dynamics. He has been the leader of an innovative, world-class research group in fluid mechanics for the past 10 years and the quality and impact of his research is recognized worldwide. In 2010 he has received a large research award from SFI (Science Foundation Ireland) to build the first group in ocean wave energy at University College Dublin together with Aquamarine Power. In 2011 he was awarded a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant on the formation of extreme waves, together with Prof. John Dudley, a physicist who has made numerous pioneering contributions in nonlinear optical physics.</p>
<p>Graduated from ENSTA ( Ecole Nationale de Techniques Avancées) in 1975 as Ocean Engineer.</p>
<p>He joined Ifremer ( Institut Français de Recherche pour l’Exploitation de la Mer, formerly CNEXO) in 1977,where he was first in charge of simulation tasks within the scope of a polymetallic nodule mining development program</p>
<p>From 1980 to 1985, he was involved in research and feasibility studies in the field of marine renewable energy; in particular wave and ocean thermal energy.</p>
<p>Since 1985, he has performed research and computational activities related to the behaviour of flexible slender structures( towing and deployment cables, mooring lines, risers, umbilicals). He has conducted a number of at-sea experiments to collect data on towed or cable-deployed systems in order to validate numerical models. He also conducted a number of experiments in Ifremer ocean engineering tank on the dynamic behaviour of mooring lines and steel catenary risers.</p>
<p>He is currently coordinating Ifremer research, testing and expertise activities related to the behaviour of structures in marine environment and he is head of Ifremer hydrodynamic and metocean laboratory, member of Marinet (http://www.fp7-marinet.eu/)</p>
<p>He is a member of the CLAR_OM (French club for research activities on offshore structures) board.</p>
