About

Dr. Victor Bolbot is a leading researcher in maritime safety and autonomous ship navigation, with a particular focus on the safe integration of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). His work centers on risk identification and hazard analysis for autonomous systems, addressing critical challenges in the transition to unmanned vessels. His most cited paper, "A method to identify and rank objects and hazardous interactions affecting autonomous ships navigation" (2022, 18 citations), introduces a systematic framework for detecting and prioritizing potential threats—such as other vessels, obstacles, and environmental hazards—that autonomous navigation systems must handle. This contribution is foundational for developing robust, safety-assured autonomous navigation algorithms. Beyond this, Dr. Bolbot’s research spans system-theoretic process analysis, formal safety assessment, and the application of artificial intelligence to maritime risk management. His work is widely recognized for bridging theoretical safety models with practical engineering solutions, influencing both academic research and industry standards for autonomous shipping. With growing citation impact, Dr. Bolbot is establishing himself as a key voice in the safe deployment of next-generation maritime technologies.
