What is your research vision?
My main research area is regarding ocean renewable energies, focusing on hydrodynamics, structural dynamics and mooring system analysis. During my career, I have been focusing on developing numerical analysis tools for dynamic modelling of offshore structures, including renewable energy devices. I am also interested in developing innovate structures for ocean renewables. Ultimately, I would like to diversify my portfolio in offshore energy engineering (which as of now includes wind energy, wave energy and floating PV, etc.) and develop a holistic viewpoint towards energy sector for adapting it to the changing academic environment.
What are you looking for in a collaborator?
I would like to look for collaborations related to design, modelling and analysis of ocean renewable energies (wind, wave and solar).
