Research Interest

Her research interests include marine renewable energy, physical and numerical modelling of violent free surface flow and fluid-structure interaction. She is involved with a number of research projects concerning marine renewable energy funded by EPSRC, GWR, EU Interreg, IEE, FP7, SWRDA, TSB in collaboration industrial and academic partners. She recently coordinated a 2 million euro EU project SOWFIA, streamlining of offshore wave farms impact assessment, bringing together proposed wave energy test sites in the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Portugal and Sweden. She is lead PI on EPSRC Research Grant EP/J012866/1 (FROTH: Fundamentals and Reliability of Offshore Structure Hydrodynamics), EPSRC EP/K012177/1, The hydrodynamics of deformable flexible fabric structures for wave energy conversion, and partner on EP/J010235/1 (X-MED: EXtreme Loading of Marine Energy Devices due to Waves, Current, Flotsam and Mammal Impact), on EU FP7 Project MARINET, on Interreg Project MERIFIC, and an associate Partner of UKCMER SuperGen Marine III.
