An opportunity to view the cross-disciplinary research projects that are undertaken by our current CDT PhD researchers in visual form. Our CDT researchers represent the next generation of offshore wind leaders and will be accompanying their posters to discuss their work and answer questions about their cutting-edge research.
We have scheduled a lively programme of presentations from our CDT PhD researchers working in various academic fields linked to a resilient future for the offshore wind sector, alongside industry speakers:
Dan McGrail, Chief Executive, RenewableUK
Tim Pick MBE, Chair of the UK’s Offshore Wind Growth Partnership, and a Commissioner on the UK’s Clean Power 2030 Advisory Commission
A diverse programme of presentations from our CDT PhD researchers working on cross-disciplinary research projects providing research development and innovation solutions for the offshore wind industry, alongside speakers from industry and academia:
Jordan Burgess, Post Doctoral Researcher ECOWind BOWIE project (Benthic Offshore Wind Interactions)
Danielle Lane, Director of Offshore Development UK and Ireland, RWE
On Thursday, we will also host a panel discussion, chaired by Jane Cooper, Director of Offshore Wind at RenewableUK. Panellists include, Danielle Lane (Director of Offshore Development UK and Ireland, RWE), Tim Pick (MBE, Chair of the UK’s Offshore Wind Growth Partnership, and a Commissioner on the UK’s Clean Power 2030 Advisory Commission) and Victoria Bessonova (Wind Energy Analyst, SSE Renewables and CDT Researcher).
Our Centres for Doctoral Training are unique in their transdisciplinary approach to meeting the research and innovation needs of the offshore wind industry. Our commitment to best practice in equality, diversity and inclusion, our cross-cohort training and industry mentoring programme is helping to create the next generation of offshore wind leaders. We ensure our cutting-edge academic research is tackling offshore wind industry challenges, today and tomorrow, by co-developing our research priorities directly with sector stakeholders.
