Professor Hongseok Bae began his professional career at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), an engineering company and shipyard, in South Korea in 2005, as a naval architect and project manager. For 15 years, he conducted basic, detailed and production designs, as well as shipyard site work such as harbour/sea trials in his early career. He was also in charge of ship technical documents, drawings and cost estimation for bidding projects, with a wide range of different ship types from commercial vessels (e.g. passenger ships, offshore support vessels and tankers) to military vessels (e.g. Corvette, Submarine rescue vessels, Auxiliary oiler and replenishment ships). Based on these practical ship design experiences, he achieved an MSc degree with distinction at the University of Southampton (UK) and a PhD degree with a full PhD scholarship at the University of Strathclyde (UK). He was interested in how to derivative energy efficiency Operation Index (EEOI) from actual operating ships with their AIS Data for his MSc thesis, and was selected as the representative of Southampton University with the honour of giving a presentation in front of UK Princess Ann. Then, he focused on more practical ship design solutions for PhD research on how to increase ship survivability using crashworthiness analysis. With this interesting topic, he took part in an EU-funded project with a ship collision/grounding crashworthiness analysis and several others. As a result of his innovative research, he published several conference and journal papers successfully so far and plans to develop his research topic in more detail and practical solutions.

As a highly talented professional and researcher, he is fully prepared to share his accumulated practical knowledge and skills with students and colleagues and looking forward to enhancing and expanding his research areas in Sharjah Maritime Academy.
