About

Dr. Dae-Won Seo is a leading researcher in marine biofouling management and advanced cleaning technologies, with a focus on enhancing the efficiency and environmental sustainability of ship hull maintenance. His work centers on the development and optimization of high-pressure water-jet systems and robotic cleaning solutions for bio-fouling removal, addressing critical challenges in niche areas such as bow thrusters and sea chests. Dr. Seo’s most-cited paper, “Evaluation of Influencing Factors in Cleaning Performance for Bio-Fouling Removal Based on High-Pressure Water Jets” (2024), has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its timely impact on the field. His research systematically identifies key parameters—such as pressure, nozzle geometry, and surface proximity—that govern cleaning effectiveness, providing a scientific basis for designing more efficient, dock-free cleaning robots. By bridging the gap between traditional manual methods and autonomous robotic systems, Dr. Seo’s contributions help reduce fuel consumption, prevent invasive species transfer, and lower operational costs for the maritime industry. His work is instrumental in advancing eco-friendly ship maintenance and has significant implications for global shipping sustainability.
