Current Students

Junsik’s doctoral study focuses on developing a new type of dynamically installed anchor that is both cost-effective and provides improved performance in water and soil. In addition, he is developing an advanced soil-structure interface friction algorithm for more accurate capturing of interface frictional resistance using the CEL approach in ABAQUS.

Ben is an offshore engineer and PhD candidate at the Centre for Offshore Foundations Systems, where he is developing a constitutive model for calcareous silt.

Pourya is a PhD student whose research interests focus on a wide range of challenges in the design and installation of offshore wind turbine (OWT) foundations – including numerical modelling of the vibro-driving installation for OWT monopiles and in-service response of offshore foundations under cyclic/seismic loading conditions using advanced constitutive models and FE tools.
