Research Group: Marine Resources & Renewable Energy
Our work centres on two major themes. Both relate strongly to grand global challenges. These challenges include climate change, energy security and future mobility and trade. We will capitalise on these areas as we mature and develop further in the School of Engineering. This will increase our appeal to our many stakeholders, including students, staff and funders.
