The Ship Hydrodynamics Research Committee elected Professor Byong Kwon Ahn from Chungnam National University and Professor Bo Woo Nam from Seoul National University as the 17th president and secretary, respectively, in December 2020. The new executive committee will lead the research group for the next two years. 

 
The research committee held the 65th Shipbuilding and Marine Hydrodynamics Research Society Workshop on March 25. This workshop was held online because of the COVID-19 pandemic, wherein 62 members attended and 11 papers were presented.

The research group is the oldest among the rest under the Society of Naval Architects of Korea and has been holding biannual workshops in winter and summer on professional topics related to shipbuilding and marine hydrodynamics. It also plays a role in promoting academic exchange and development.

While the COVID-19 pandemic is changing many things in our society, the research group is also making efforts to expand the participation of young researchers and lead a creative and productive academic exchange culture in a new era. If the pandemic situation improves and social distancing policies are relaxed accordingly, the next workshop will be held face-to-face from August 26 to 27.
