Project overview. Geoscience plays a pivotal role in delivering offshore wind power. The aim of this project is to optimise the characterisation of the seabed over kilometre-scale offshore wind farms at the accuracy required. Read more
Co-Supervisor. Professor Susan Gourvenec. Join the UK-wide Offshore Renewable Energy Supergen Hub project, and contribute to the geotechnical engineering of floating offshore wind. Read more
Efficient anchor design methods are urgently needed for upscaling offshore renewable energy infrastructure and unlocking farm-scale floating wind developments. Read more
You will develop a novel predictive model for the 'silent' installation of open-ended piles for offshore wind turbine foundations, through advanced physical and numerical modelling. Read more
Supervisory Team. Dr Nick Townsend and Prof D.A Hudson. In this PhD you will have the opportunity to develop and test novel methodologies to extract ship hydrodynamic characteristics from a focused set of tests. Read more
Tidal Turbines (underwater wind turbines) are able to operate close together and this can increase power capture. To get it to work well we need to understand many different aspects of device design and operating environment. Read more
This PhD project, in association with BAE Systems, seeks to reveal and investigate novel solutions to deliver significant improvements in overall energy efficiency in maritime transport. Read more
Supervisory Team: Dr N.C. Townsend, Prof A. Murphy. Project description. In this PhD project you will explore novel wave energy harvesting systems for maritime robotic systems, such as Autonomous Surface and Underwater Vehicles (ASVs and AUVs). Read more
