Ioannis Karmpadakis is an Associate Professor in Coastal Engineering at Imperial College London, specializing in coastal engineering, hydrodynamics, and extreme waves. His research focuses on wave breaking, nonlinear waves, and the statistical behavior of wave heights and crest heights in varying water depths. Karmpadakis has conducted extensive experimental and numerical studies on wave statistics, wave loading, and the performance of coastal structures. His work includes investigations into Oscillating Water Column devices, tsunami-induced loads, and the prediction of extreme wave events. His research contributes to the understanding of wave dynamics in both laboratory and field settings, with applications in coastal protection and renewable energy.
