Faculty Profile Professor Frederic Dias, UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics We study the formation of extreme waves on the surface of the ocean. These waves can be damaging and are a threat to navigation and possibly to wave energy converters in the future when they are operational. Better forecasting of extreme waves is a key focus for my research. This area of research requires knowledge in statistics, fluid mechanics, wave motion, partial differential equations and numerical modelling.
