I build and use simulation tools to understand how ocean technologies behave — mostly wave energy systems.

Background in mechanical engineering and offshore renewable energy, with an EngD from the University of Edinburgh’s IDCORE programme (where I now serve as a board member).

Ten years of experience with Innosea and NREL — developing marine energy simulation software and collaborating with the DOE WPTO, as well as partners across industry, academia, and government (including Sandia, TotalEnergies, NASA and many others).

Author and presenter of research papers and patents, with presentations at international conferences and workshops.

Recipient of an R&D 100 Award for innovation in renewable energy simulation software.

When not working, I’m with my family — often near the sea that inspires much of my work.
