EXPERIENCE
The scope of my research revolves around five primary domains:

• Marine diesel engines, encompassing engine performance, exhaust

emissions, engine testing, and marine auxiliary machinery.
• Alternative energy, with a focus on solar energy and electric-
powered boats, alongside an exploration of their potential impact.
• The assessment of the energy efficiency and environmental
implications stemming from shore facilities and marine vessels.
• Researching the infrastructure and educational systems associated
with maritime education.
• Maritime Safety and Risk Analysis
