Ocean Engineering

Every project I work on adds some new dimension and challenge to my life. My experience and knowledge grow with each new project, and this allows me to share and teach others.

The sea is our last great frontier, and naval architects and marine engineers will lead the way.

Due to climate change and human impact on resources, we have been trying to ascertain if we can live sustainably in our world, whether it is through conserving water resources or protecting our coastal communities from increasing storm surges.

The best part of my job is developing creative solutions to ongoing infrastructure issues and providing significant, measurable benefits to our society.

Most of my time is spent developing computer models of aquaculture cages and learning how they will behave in the offshore environment.

In a typical month, I develop designs for a variety of coastal projects such as shore protection, dredging, habitat restoration and waterfront design for port infrastructure.
