Kaj Antero Riska (born January 25, 1953, Helsinki, Finland)[citation needed] is a naval architect and engineer with expertise in ice and arctic technology. He has written various publications about ice-going ships and icebreaker design, ice loads and ice management for arctic offshore floating platforms. He worked at Total S.A. as Senior Ice Engineer. He received the 2019 POAC Founders Lifetime Achievement Award.[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Kaj Riska graduated from the Helsinki University of Technology (TTK) (Finnish: Teknillinen korkeakoulu) in Naval Architecture as M.Sc. in 1978 and D.Sc. in 1988.[citation needed] He worked at the Technical Research Centre of Finland from 1977 to 1988 as the group leader for Arctic Marine Technology. From 1989 to 1991 he was a senior researcher for the Academy of Finland. From 1992 to 1995 he was the director of Arctic Offshore Research Centre and from 1995 to 2005 the professor of Arctic Marine Technology at the Helsinki University of Technology.[citation needed]

Since 2005 he has been a partner of the company ILS Oy and since 2006 Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. He and his Ph.D. students were investigating the models to describe the ice action on ships and their application in various ship design aspects.[2]

Exams

[edit]

Kaj Riska passed his student exam (upper secondary school) at Helsingin Yhtenäiskoulu in May 1972. He received his Master of Science degree in naval architecture in June 1978 and his Doctor in Technology degree in September 1988, both issued by the Helsinki University of Technology.[citation needed]
