Applications of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in Local New York Projects

The next technical meeting of the IMarEST Eastern USA Branch will be a joint session with the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME), the Society of Marine Port Engineers (SMPE), and the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE). This meeting is being hosted by SMPE.

Location: White Horse Tavern - Financial District, 25 Bridge Street, New York, NY 10004 or join us virtually

Presenter: Carl J. Persak III, Persak & Wurmfeld

Carl is co-founder of Persak & Wurmfeld and brings over 25 years of professional experience in the marine industry to the firm. Prior to starting P&W, he ran his own design firm and worked for Sparkman & Stephens in New York City, Michael Peters Yacht Design in Sarasota, FL, and Elliott Bay Design Group in Seattle, WA.

Carl holds a Professional Engineer’s license in New York and is a graduate of Webb Institute where he also taught. He is an avid athlete who pursues sailing, surfing, cycling, and has completed four New York City marathons. He lives with his wife and children in Brooklyn.

Abstract:

The engineering skill sets found in the practices of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering have applications beyond typical marine projects. The multi-disciplined approach of these fields combined with their inherent understanding and appreciation of complex geometries, high-end finishes, dynamic loadings, and hazardous environments makes them prime candidates for some of the more rigorous design and engineering challenges.

The speaker will provide case studies where the applications of these fields have been pivotal in solving some very interesting and challenging local design and engineering problems. These case studies are not only on the water but also at the water’s edge, and even on land.
