About

To create a more environmentally sustainable maritime future, Nick’s research is investigating the performance of renewable energy scavenging systems for improving the efficiency of marine craft and robotic systems. By capturing or exploiting the ambient ocean energy for performance gains, next generation systems and vehicles can be developed with greater capability with reduced or zero emissions.
