About me

Evert Lataire graduated in 2004 at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands (Master of Science, Maritime Technology, Ship Hydrodynamics) and obtained his PhD at Ghent University, Belgium, in 2014. He is professor and head of the Maritime Technology Division (Ghent University). His research focuses mainly on the manoeuvring behaviour of ships in shallow and confined water and is often based upon model tests carried out in the confined water towing tank of Flanders Hydraulics Research (Antwerp, Belgium). He participated since the founding in the new shallow water towing tank, currently under construction in Ostend, Belgium and is co-organiser of all editions of the International Conference on Ship Behaviour in Shallow and Confined Water (MASHCON). In recent years his division diversified and obtained knowledge of other floating devices such as PV-farms and offshore aquaculture plants. He is lecturer in charge of seven courses at Ghent University (5) and Antwerp Maritime Academy (2) focusing on both ship hydrodynamics and the construction of marine structures.
