Adebayo Ojo is a structural analysis engineer, with particular interest in subsea structures. He has MScs in Systems Engineering and Subsea Engineering from the Universities of Lancaster and Strathclyde respectively. He has over 2 years of experience as a subsea structural analyst in the oil and gas industry, which is complemented by project planning and management experience (circa 3 years) in the solar energy renewables sector. He joined the Renewable Energy Marine Structures (REMS) CDT program to research the multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization of floating offshore wind turbine substructure. The objective of this research is to develop a novel design framework which will allow the exploration and analysis of unconventional floating support structure geometries, optimized specifically for FOWT requirements. The developed concept will meet the minimal requirements of effective hydrodynamic stability in deep waters and also provides a low levelized cost of energy (LCOE) from the FOWT system.
