Ronald W. Yeung (born 1945) is a Distinguished Professor of Hydromechanics and Ocean Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.[8] He is one of the pioneers in the field of numerical ship hydrodynamics.

Education and career

Ronald W. Yeung received his B.S. (1968), M.S. (1970), and Ph.D. (1973) degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. He was awarded the University Medal[9][10] as the most distinguished graduate of the class of 1968. Prior to his Ph.D. studies, for two years, he staffed at Litton Ship Systems, Culver City, CA (a division of Litton Industries) as a naval architect, and was involved in the design of several classes of naval vessels. During this period, he also taught part-time as a UCLA Extension instructor at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard. His academic career started at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where, from 1973 to 1982, he was an Assistant, then Associate Professor with tenure, in the Ocean Engineering Department. He joined the engineering faculty of UC Berkeley in 1982. From 1989 until 1996, he served as the chair of the Department of Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering. Since 1996, he has been a Distinguished Professor of Hydromechanics and Ocean Engineering in the department of Mechanical Engineering.[11]

Professor Yeung teaches fluid mechanics, marine hydrodynamics, ocean-environment mechanics, and computational methodologies for marine problems. His recent research interests have been on safety issues of marine vehicles, “green ship” by design, and renewable energy from tidal current and ocean waves.
