PhD Scholarship in Ocean Wave Modelling and Marine Renewable Energy Systems

Scholarship Description

The successful candidate will be involved in the development of a new hydrodynamic wave model to study wave interaction with an Oscillating Water Column device used to convert ocean wave energy to electricity or to desalinate seawater. This project will be carried out in close collaboration with Oceanlinx, one of the leading wave energy companies in the world, and represents an exciting program of training for a mathematician, engineer or scientist wishing to enter the rapidly expanding field of Marine Renewable Energy systems.
