Research
Waves, energy & the coast.
Research across marine energy, experimental hydrodynamics and coastal data — connecting physical understanding with engineering questions.
Research theme / 01
Wave energy & coastal structures
How can wave-energy devices work effectively within coastal infrastructure?
My research examines oscillating water columns integrated with breakwaters. Physical modelling and numerical simulation provide complementary ways to study wave–structure interaction, device geometry and hydrodynamic performance.
Research theme / 02
Experimental hydrodynamics
How confidently can we measure and model wave-energy performance?
Wave-flume testing, CFD and image-based measurement support the study of coastal and marine energy systems. My work includes power-output estimation, model validation and the influence of geometry on turbulent dissipation.
Research theme / 03
Marine resources & coastal data
Where can coastal data help inform marine-energy assessment?
My work combines wave, wind, tide and current data with geospatial analysis for resource assessment and coastal site screening. It connects data processing and numerical analysis with the physical context of coastal environments.
