Personal profile

Personal Statement

Abel works as a Research Associate in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME) at the University of Strathclyde. He currently works with Professor Feargal Brennan in the development of offshore marine and wind renewables, through the SuperGEN ORE Hub, Ocean REFuel and previously, the LiftWEC project. 

Prior to joining NAOME, Abel worked as Research Associate in Voilab at the Institute for Energy Systems (IES) at the University of Edinburgh. He worked on the fluid dynamics of smart and morphing blades for load alleviation of tidal turbines, with Professor Ignazio Maria Viola and Dr Anna Young, from University of Bath.

Abel has vast experience in experimental flume and tank testing, flow diagnostics (PIV, LDV, ADV) and low-order vortex modelling. He is keen in combined fluid problems with structural dynamics and control engineering.
