Research Fellow / Engineer (Renewable Energy and Coastal Protection) - TZY6

• Participate in and manage the research project with Principal Investigator (PI), Co-PI and the research team members to ensure all project deliverables are met.
• Undertake these responsibilities in the project:

• Conduct advanced stochastic analysis of wave environments to evaluate the performance of floating structures.
• Analyze hydrodynamic behavior of floating breakwaters under varied sea conditions.

• Perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to optimize the design and performance of floating breakwaters.
• Develop finite element models for stability assessment, structural integrity, and dynamic response of floating systems.

• Design and analyze mechanical connectors for the integration of multi-purpose floating breakwater systems, ensuring structural stability and durability.

• Develop innovative designs for floating breakwaters that integrate wave energy converters (WECs), tidal energy systems, and solar energy platforms.
• Optimize design configurations to maximize energy harnessing and wave attenuation.

• Plan and conduct physical model tests in wave flumes or basins to validate computational models.
• Analyze experimental data to improve and validate the floating breakwater design.

• Prepare technical reports, research papers, and presentations to disseminate findings to academic and industry stakeholders.
