报告题目：Extreme Waves: Observation, Generation and Forecasting

报告摘要：The study of extreme wave events on the ocean is a rapidly expanding area of research worldwide. Although much work in this area is based on modeling and experiments in controlled wave tanks, the starting point of all studies is of course observation in the natural world. During this talk, we will provide some evidence of extreme wave events, describe the main mechanisms for their generation and the state-of-the art for their forecast and their return period. 

报告人简介：Frederic Dias graduated from Ecole Centrale de Paris, a French engineering school, in 1984. He received a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, in 1986. He started his career in the US before coming back to France to join CNRS in 1990. In 2000, he moved to EcoleNormaleSuperieure de Cachan and has been a Professor of Applied Mathematics since. In 2009, he went to University College Dublin (UCD) onleave to work on wave energy converters in close collaboration with industry. He is now leading a team of 12 people at UCD. In 2012, he received an advanced grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to work on extreme wave events. In 2014, he received a proof of concept grant from the ERC to work on wave measurement. His stay at UCD has been extended until 2019.

In 2016, Prof.Frédéric Dias was elected as a member of the Royal Irish Academy.

In 2014, Prof.Frédéric Dias has been awarded the Emilia Valori prize for applications of science by the French Academy of Sciences.

Prof.Frédéric Dias is co-chief editor of the European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids and has been Secretary General of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) from 2008 to 2016.

Board appointments include: Scientific Council of the Fondation des Treilles, Technical Committee of Eurogia+, the EUREKA Cluster for low-carbone energy technologies.
