Personal history
Dr Toshifumi Fujiwara is a Senior Researcher in the National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI), Japan.
He received a Bachelor of Engineering Degree with honors, 1992, Master of Engineering Degree, 1994 from Osaka Prefecture University and Ph.D. in the ship performance evaluation in the heavy sea, especially for the proposed new estimation method of wind loads acting on the ships, from the same university in 2006.
He has the research works relating to stability and manoeuvring ability of ships and had relevance for the discussion on rulemaking in Ministry of Transport, Japan and International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the ship maritime safety in 1998-2001.
He joined the project of the development of new type sailing ship in 2002-2003.
He stayed in the Ship Science, School of Engineering Sciences, University of Southampton, UK, in 2003-2004 as a Senior Research Fellow.
From 2011, he has been concerned with the research of VIM(Vortex Induced Motion) on a MPSO (Mono-column type Floating Production Storage and Offloading) floater and a Spar type floater.
Now he belongs to the Ocean Energy Research Group, Offshore Renewable Energy Exploitation Department in NMRI.
