Dr Madjid Karimirad

School of Natural and Built Environment

I am carrying out research on analysis, testing, development and design of offshore renewable energy structures. This covers offshore wind turbines both floating and bottom-fixed, wave energy converters, tidal turbines as well as floating solar units. I am particularly interested in the coupled analysis of offshore structures subjected to simultaneous action of wave, wind and current. This requires coupled time-domain analysis accounting for aero-hydro-servo-elastic considerations, modelling and numerical analysis.

Open to PhD applications in the following areas:

  • Offshore and Coastal Renewable Energy devices,
  • Offshore Wind Turbines, Floating Solar, Wave and Tidal
  • Dynamics of Marine Structures, Floating Wind Platforms
  • Numerical Methods for Ocean Engineering, Hydrodynamics
