After the graduation in Master of Engineering (Mechanical), I'm currently a Ph.D. student in Ocean Renewable Energy Research Group, School of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Adelaide. My project aims to investigate the sensitivities of the developed wave power absorption control strategies to modeling uncertainties and disturbances, in order to accelerate the development of robust power absorption control strategies for wave energy converters. The outcomes will help wave energy industries to accelerate the process of the technology readiness level of wave energy conversion technologies from 4 to 7.
