Finn Gunnar Nielsen’s research has been focused on the interaction between the ocean (wind, current and waves) and marine structures. In recent time he has worked with the dynamics of offshore wind turbines. He was professor and director of BOW from the start in 2018 until he retired in 2023. I his previous position he headed the research project developing the world’s first full scale floating wind turbine. For this work he in 2018 was awarded the price of honour from the

Finn Gunnar Nielsen is active giving professional and popular presentations about offshore wind energy and renewable energy in general. Have published the book: Nielsen, F. G. (2024) Offshore Wind Energy. Environmental Conditions and Dynamics of Fixed and Floating Turbines. Cambridge University Press. doi: 10.1017/9781009341455.

Finn Gunnar Nielsen has headed the program board for the master education in energy at ���ϳԹ���Դ. He has lectured basic energy topics as well as in special seminars on offshore wind energy.

Previously he developed and lectured a course in marine operations at NTNU. A special compendium was developed for this course.
