The Centre for Ocean Energy Research (COER) at Maynooth University, Ireland has further opportunities for well-qualified applicants interested in PhD level research on the control of wave energy systems as part of 2 prestigious new projects under the supervision of Prof. John Ringwood FIEEE:
Economic wave energy through technical innovation (SeaChange)
MaxRotorWEC – a new control strategy for cyclorotor-based wave energy converters
Both projects are funded by Science Foundation Ireland and the successful candidates will join a dynamic group of 30 people working on developing innovative solutions to the provision of clean energy from an untapped source – wave energy, with projects funded from various national and international sources.
Applicants should be well qualified academically to bachelor’s or master’s degree level in one of the following areas: mechanical/mechatronic engineering, electronic engineering, control engineering, or exceptional students in applied maths or hydrodynamics. The project will require a mix of skills including excellent written and oral communication skills and programming ability, mathematical modelling, control design and estimation.
