Research interests
- I will be researching the decommissioning of offshore foundation systems with great focus on the offshore wind monopiles. The removal of such large piles is considered challenging and not feasible form an economical and carbon emission perspective. I will be exploring past and ongoing research and aim to deliver a solution for the removal of such large monopiles.
- The research will consider theoretical and practical approaches to minimising the cost and carbon footprint of the decommissioning stage of a wind farm life cycle. Although the research will tailor solutions for current designs of monopiles, I will be aiming to research design suggestions that could facilitate decommissioning of future monopile designs.
