Summary
Shagun Agarwal is a research and development engineer with a decade of experience applying computational physics and experimental hydrodynamics to offshore and coastal systems. He combines advanced numerical modelling (Julia, Python, Fortran, OpenFOAM) and HPC with hands-on wave-basin and flume testing to tackle wave–structure interaction, hydroelasticity, and mooring dynamics for floating wind and solar platforms. His work spans academia and industry—from postdoctoral research at TU Delft on mooring nonlinearity and wave run-up to developing monopile–soil interaction models and control-support algorithms for vibratory pile driving at Vibrotwist. Comfortable implementing hybrid multi-physics solvers and particle-based viscous models, he has a track record of translating complex simulations into testable insights and design guidance. Based in Delft, he blends rigorous PhD-level research with practical engineering, often focusing on resilient, sustainable nearshore infrastructure. Anecdotally, his GitHub quip “Trying to survive numerical ocean engineering” captures his pragmatic, problem-solving approach to messy real-world fluid problems.
