Biography
Biography
Prof Gregorio Iglesias (GI) was previously the Head of the COAST Engineering Research Group and a Professor of Coastal Engineering at the University of Plymouth. He holds a Marie Curie fellowship (WaveImpact) focused on the effects of wave farms (arrays of wave energy converters) on coastal processes and, on this basis, the development of dual-purpose wave farms for coastal erosion management, in addition to carbon-free energy generation. With over 20 years’ experience, his research lines include: ocean renewable energy (resource assessment, impact assessment, development of wave energy converters, combined wave and wind systems, and economics), coastal processes (estuarine hydraulics, beach morphodynamics) and coastal and port structures (breakwater design). He patented a new type of wave energy converter (WaveCat), directed numerous laboratory tests of wave energy converters and breakwaters, and pioneered the application of Artificial Intelligence to beach morphology, infragravity waves in ports, laboratory tests of oil booms, and the design of coastal structures. GI is a member of the IEC Technical Committee in charge of the standards for wave energy device development (scale-model testing) and of the panel in charge of the Spanish Standards for Maritime Works (ROM). He is a member of various editorial boards, acts as a reviewer for international journals and research councils, has published over 100 journal papers and secured over £12M research income as Principal Investigator. His h-index is 31.
