Aidan is passionate about understanding our natural world and solving problems to help people and the environment. Driven by his interests in our oceans and in applied mathematics, Aidan commenced a PhD in offshore hydrodynamics, investigating the interaction between extreme waves and offshore wind turbine structures. He hopes a better understanding of these wave-structure interactions will enable more intelligent design and help to drive down costs of future offshore wind farm projects, aiding the planet on the path to net-zero emissions.
