About

Christos Pollalis is a leading researcher in the field of ship manoeuvring, whose work has been instrumental in transforming the discipline from a niche area of marine hydrodynamics into a cornerstone of modern maritime innovation. His major contributions include pioneering the integration of seakeeping and intact stability with manoeuvring dynamics, and advancing the development of digital twins and autonomous maritime systems. His most-cited paper, *Ship Manoeuvring Research 2010–2025: From Hydrodynamics and Control to Digital Twins, AI and MASS* (2025), with 2 citations, provides a comprehensive roadmap of the field's evolution over fifteen years, highlighting the shift toward multidisciplinary approaches that underpin the next generation of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). Pollalis’s work is notable for bridging traditional hydrodynamics with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and control systems, establishing a framework that enables safer, more efficient vessel operations. His research continues to shape the trajectory of autonomous shipping, making him a pivotal figure for students and researchers exploring the future of maritime technology.
