My project, "Physical and Numerical modelling of Wave Energy Converter" aims to optimise the M4 wave energy converter, uncovering its behaviour and performance in varying marine conditions. With enhanced energy conversion capabilities, the M4 device could contribute to a substantial [...]
Small-scale model studies are a crucial step in the development of wave energy converters (WECs) prior to deployment in rough ocean conditions. They serve not only to assess performance across various sea states but also to fine-tune design parameters, [...]
A prototype version of the M4 (short for ‘Moored MultiModal Multibody’) Wave Energy Converter will be deployed in King George Sound, Albany, funded by the CRC, WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and UWA. The project demonstrates [...]
Hugh Wolgamot works on offshore hydrodynamics and wave-structure interaction problems, with application to offshore renewable energy (wave and floating wind). He has been working on wave energy since commencing his doctorate, received from the University of Oxford in 2014. Since [...]
Christophe is an offshore geotechnical engineer and scientist with a focus on supporting and developing marine renewable energy using multidisciplinary approaches. Christophe has held several leadership roles, including Head of the Oceans Graduate School, Director of the National Geotechnical Centrifuge [...]
Wiebke has a background in the biological sciences and in career development. She has worked in research, education, community outreach, and science communication at several Australian universities for 15+ years. Since 2018, she has been the Centre Manager of Marine [...]
