He is one of five fellows joining the Offshore Energy Safety Track, where their work will focus on contributing to the understanding, management and reduction of systemic risk in offshore energy activities. The same shapes can help us design sensors in the lab to detect changes in water flow that could warn offshore wind turbine operators about dangerous conditions,” he said. Technology to monitor harsh conditions in the deep ocean is critical for the expansion of offshore wind energy. Since then, he said he has seen an increase in students who want to prepare for careers in the wind energy industry. “One of the biggest potential sources of clean energy comes from wind energy.
