Who Am I?
I am an experienced engineer in structural and aero-dynamics. I am a Senior Loads and Controls Engineer for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. I am also a PhD researcher with the TU Delft Wind Energy Research Institute (DUWIND). I am researching the aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) and their potential in a large floating offshore application. The research involves numerical and experimental techniques related to the aerodynamic flow fields associated with VAWTs, as well as the ability to control the circulation of the flow acted on by the turbine and how this relates to the structural dynamics of the turbine and offshore platform.
