Osama Akabat

Background:

I studied for a BEng Mechanical Engineering with Design and went on to complete an MSc Master of Science. 

Research Interests:

My focus is on the construction, operations and maintenance in offshore structures, as well as environmental hydrodynamics and their impact on offshore structures 

Why you applied for the Aura CDT:

With over 20 industry partners and strong university collaborations, this is evidence of a good reputation and ranking. It also allows me to access a diverse world of industrial elites and leaders in the field of offshore wind energy. This gives me reassurance that I am joining a major player in the field with a proven track record, good organisation, and commitment to develop solutions for the challenges currently facing the offshore wind industry.

Research project:

Computer modelling of irregular nonlinear surface waves and their effects on offshore wind turbine structures
