Mohammad Hajiarab is a Lead Naval Architect and the Floating Structures Team Leader, working for Lloyd’s Register in Aberdeen, Scotland. He holds a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Naval Architecture from Amir Kabir University, Tehran, Iran and is a part time PhD research student in the Newcastle University since 2005, studying the viscous roll damping phenomena of floating vessels.
Mohammad is a member of “The Royal Institute of Naval Architects“.
His main professional interests include hydrodynamics and site specific response of floating offshore systems (e.g. FPSO, FSU, etc.).
He is also a contributing author to the “Lloyd’s Register Rules and Regulations for the Classification of a Floating Offshore Installation at a Fixed Location (LR’s FOIFL Rules)”. The LR FOIFL can be downloaded free from here.
