Mobile robotic platforms such as USVs (Unmanned Surface Vessels) and UUVs (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles) used in offshore or open ocean aquaculture, rely on an on-board power supply (e.g., battery). This project aims to develop energy-optimal control schemes to allow [...]
In recent years, the concept of co-location of multiple species in aquaculture has gained interest among the scientific community and the industry. The integration of pellet-fed finfish with inorganic extractive algae and organic extractive shellfish is seen as a [...]
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is an important process for identifying which areas of the ocean are appropriate for marine uses including blue economy activities. MSP relies on geospatial data layers that span human uses as well as areas of [...]
The project will develop an economic analysis of the complex interactions between wind energy development at sea and the structure of fishing activities, considering the cumulative impacts of multiple wind farm developments on spatial crowding of fishing areas, the [...]
Despite monumental technological progress in these complex industries in recent years, the topic of the human element and the role of the workforce in the sustainability of the industries are under-researched (Pace, Saritas, and Deidun 2023). This study addresses [...]
This PhD project has the potential to address a significant void in Australia's offshore seaweed aquaculture sector, focusing on an invaluable aquatic resource with substantial commercial prospects. The project aims to construct an advanced offshore seaweed farm designed to withstand [...]
The primary purpose of my PHD project is to develop novel tools for decision-making processes related to MPOP infrastructure planning and including location and system selection by applying risk-based techniques. The literature review has identified significant gaps in the [...]
As autonomous systems are increasingly integrated into blue economy industries, and maritime transport advances toward Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), the central role of human factors are often overlooked in industry discussions. Improved livelihoods, job creation, and maritime safety [...]
