Studieveileder/Information about studies

Jeg er studieveileder ved Linjen for fysikk og matematikk, fortrinnsvis i forbindelse med Studieretningen for industriell matematikk.

EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS

Industrial Mathematics Programs

My educational interests are mainly connected to the Industrial Mathematics Program at NTNU. This program, which is part of the Physics and Mathematics Engineering Education has been going on since 1982.  Studieretningen for industriell matematikk is a description of the program in Norwegian.

Currently about 40 students enroll in the program each year.

The department is actively involved of establishing similar Industrial mathematics programs in the third world: MASTMO.

Mathematical modelling

The mathematical modelling course was introduced at the very beginning of the Industrial Mathematics program and has been following the program since then. A description of the course and some of its philosophy may be found on some of the Mathematical Modelling home pages (See the department page)

We are interested in exchanging course material, and in particular, learn about case studies that could be applied.

Fourier Analysis

The Fourier Analysis course is for graduate or final year undergraduate students and contains central topics ranging from the classical theory, theory of distributions, sampling theory, discrete Fourier transform and FFT. Also for this course educational examples and course material are of interest.

ECMI

The institute is a member of European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry. For more information please consult the ECMI Home PageThe ECMI Modelling Week  in Trondheim 2-11 July 1999 was a great event!

RESEARCH INTERESTS

"The basic law of ocean waves is the apparent lack of any law" (Lord Rayleigh)

My main research interests for many years in the offshore consulting community has been ocean waves, mostly topics related to the analysis of directional ocean waves, wave measurements, wave statistics and climatology. Over the past years, the understanding of how a Synthetic Aperture Radar sees ocean waves has required a lot of effort. More details are available from the list of publication in the CV.

PROJECT/CONSULTING WORK

Over the years I have been involved in numerous consulting and R&D projects. The following list of acronyms is only for those interested: CADS, WADIC, PROMEC, JEEP, LEWEX, CUMEX, WAVEMOD, SCAWVEX, WACSIS, EUROWAVES (Some of the recent projects have their own Web-pages).

Some recent project participation:

EnviWave Development and Application of Validated Geophysical Ocean Wave Products from ENVISAT ASAR and RA-2 Instruments  (Partner) Finished 2005

ExtrWave Modeling of extreme ocean waves and ocean wave climate on mesoscale (Partner) Finished 2004

INTAS 666-1999 Estimation of extreme metocean events (Coordinator) Finished 2003

MaxWave (External expert) Finished 2003

 

COST 714 (Partner) Finished 2005

A complete PDF-copy of the monograph Measuring and Analysing the Directional Spectra of Ocean Waves (K. Kahma, D. Hauser, H.E. Krogstad, S. Lehner, J.A.J. Monbaliu, L.R. Wyatt), EU COST Action 714, EUR 21367, ISBN 92-898-0003-8 (2005), 465 pages,  may be obtained free of charge (send e-mail inquiry to harald.krogstad-AT-math.ntnu.no)
