Aalto University

Department of Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is a leading multidisciplinary research establishment with strong industrial ties with impact on industry and society at large.

The department makes use of a variety of high-quality infrastructure located around the Aalto University campus in Otaniemi.

In the Marine and Arctic Technology research group, research is focused on the behavior of ships and structures in normal and extreme environments. We do our research by considering the safety of maritime transportation, as well as the experiences the marine environment can offer to cruise vessel passengers.

The group has excellent international and national networks, including the Joint Research Center of Excellence for Arctic Shipping and Operations (CEARCTIC) funded by Lloyd’s Register Foundation in London and led by Aalto University.
