| Areas of expertise | I am interested in the design of coastal defence systems, a range of river engineering topics particularly: reservoir sedimentation control, flood mitigation and control, hydraulic structures, physical hydraulic modelling and flood plain crossings. I have recently become interested in a new way to capture tidal power by means of accelerating the natural tidal stream using minimum energy loss transitions. |
