Marilena Greco is professor in marine hydrodynamics at the dept. of Marine Technology, NTNU, Norway, with a position started in 2010 with funds for five years from DNV (Det Norske Veritas). Since 2023, she is part-time Researcher Director at the research centre CNR-INM, Institute of Marine Engineering, Italy, and has been Specially Appointed Professor (Honorary position) in 2020-2021 at OSAKA University, Japan. Since 2004, she was associated with the Centre of Excellence (CoE) CeSOS in Trondheim, first as visiting Researcher and then as Adjunct Professor. In 2012, she was awarded, with other 5 key scientists, by the Research Council of Norway for establishment and management of the CoE on Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems, NTNU AMOS, worldwide recognized as a leading research centre in marine operations; it ended in 2023 with a 10-year budget 1000+MNOK and 120+ graduated PhDs. Up to 2024, M. Greco supervised 47 MSc students with their theses, 6 PhD students, 3 post-docs at NTNU, 6 internships. She has H-index 26 (Scholar), co-authored 125+ publications, is Associate Editor of Journal of Fluids and Structures and contributes as referee for leading journals in fluid dynamics and marine hydrodynamics. Her research interests are within marine hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, nonlinear free-surface and multiphase flows, fluid-structure interactions, hydroelasticity. The investigations tools are primarily numerical and theoretical, but also experiments are used. Recent focus is on bio-inspired marine concepts, renewable energy sources in marine environment, aquaculture, safety of vehicles in extreme sea conditions.
