About Samuel

I'm a PhD student studying the interactions between floating offshore wind farms, the atmosphere and the ocean. Throughout my project I will be using computer simulations to try and capture the effects that the atmosphere and oceans have on a floating wind turbine, as well as the impacts that the turbine may have on the two. This project is a part of the OcEn project, and through focusing on simulating the physical impacts hopes to help others simulate the broader environemtal impact that floating wind farms may have. This PhD project is also related to the EQUIFy project, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory, which is investigating the various potential environmental and ecological impacts that floating offshore wind farms may have.

Before joining the University of Plymouth, I completed a MPhys (Hons) Physics degree at Swansea University. I am also a Member of the Institute of Physics.
