I'm a researcher working at the intersection of energy sustainability and mechanical/ocean engineering, with a strong focus on floating offshore wind turbines since 2010. My graduate work included floating support structure design optimization, mooring dynamics modelling, and hybrid (SIL) methods for floating wind turbine basin testing. I'm passionate about education, design, and local energy sustainability, having taught in Sustainable Design Engineering at the University of Prince Edward Island for several years. Since 2019, I worked at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), leading a research portfolio and team focused on floating wind farm design. I also lead IEA Wind Task 49.
