Narayanaswamy specializes in using computational modeling to develop practical solutions to challenges in coastal flooding, hydrodynamics, waves, fixed and floating structures. Narayanaswamy’s background is in ocean and coastal engineering with expertise in complex project development related to coastal flood risk due to extreme weather events, port development megaprojects, modeling and analysis, structural analysis of offshore structures and wave impacts on infrastructure.

His work includes the use of 2D and 3D wave and coastal hydraulics modeling, structural finite elements, tsunami and hurricane modeling, coastal flood risk mapping, extreme value analysis, met-ocean data analysis, coastal and ocean engineering. He has expertise in complex projects related to coastal flood risk due to extreme weather events, port development megaprojects, met-ocean modeling and analysis for pre-FEED and FEED studies, structural finite element analysis of offshore structures, wave loads on piers and trestles, selection of design critical met-ocean criteria, construction management of coastal infrastructure, mooring analyses. He has experience working with clients in the public and private sectors, spanning the coastal, marine, and upstream oil & gas industries.

Narayanaswamy's expertise has been recognized by the National Institute of Building Sciences, where he serves on the Scientific Resolution Panel, an independent group of experts called upon to review challenges to the accuracy of FEMA's flood analysis and mapping. He is also serving on the ASCE Coastal Engineering Sciences Committee.
