She has a background in Physics and a PhD in Wind Energy Systems from the University of Strathclyde. Her current role at CorPower involves modelling wave resource around the world, finding the best sites and comparing wave, wind and solar resource complementarity. She has research experience focusing on the economic and environmental impacts associated with innovations within emerging offshore renewable technologies. She is particularly interested in producing and communicating quantifiable evidence exploring the progress of the wave energy sector in reducing overall system costs and environmental impacts, especially in the context of future net-zero power systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n                <div class=\"related-content\">\n                        <div class=\"container\">\n                <h2><\/h2>\n                <div class=\"content-carousel swiper-container\">\n                    <ul class=\"content-carousel__wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                                                    <li class=\"content-carousel__item swiper-slide\">\n                                    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/envirotent\/tidal-turbines\/\" class=\"grid-list__item\">\n    <img width=\"610\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/10\/turbine-1920-1080-610x340.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>    <div class=\"grid-list__content\">\n        <ul class=\"grid-list__terms\"><li class=\"grid-list__restriction grid-list__restriction--8andover grid-list__restriction--1\">\n                        8 and over\n                    <\/li><li style=\"background-color:#835fa5;\" class=\"climate-change\">Climate Change<\/li><li style=\"background-color:#aa8865;\" class=\"energy\">Energy<\/li><li style=\"background-color:#a019a0;\" class=\"technology\">Technology<\/li><\/ul>        <h3>Tidal Turbines<\/h3>        <div class=\"event-date\">\n            <!-- event date -->\n            <span class=\"event-date__item\">\n                            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <span>Steven Brown from STV News reports on a powerful tidal turbine which is generating power to homes off Orkney. <\/span>    <\/div>\n<\/a>                                <\/li>\n                                                                                                                <li class=\"content-carousel__item swiper-slide\">\n                                    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/envirotent\/scotlands-tidal-energy-future\/\" class=\"grid-list__item\">\n    <img width=\"610\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/FB_IMG_1630419522298-610x340.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>    <div class=\"grid-list__content\">\n        <ul class=\"grid-list__terms\"><li class=\"grid-list__restriction grid-list__restriction--8andover grid-list__restriction--1\">\n                        8 and over\n                    <\/li><li style=\"background-color:#aa8865;\" class=\"energy\">Energy<\/li><li style=\"background-color:#609c9e;\" class=\"oceans\">Oceans<\/li><li style=\"background-color:#ed6c58;\" class=\"sustainability\">Sustainability<\/li><li style=\"background-color:#a019a0;\" class=\"technology\">Technology<\/li><\/ul>        <h3>Scotland&#8217;s Tidal Energy Future<\/h3>        <div class=\"event-date\">\n            <!-- event date -->\n            <span class=\"event-date__item\">\n                            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <span>Discover the most powerful tidal turbine in the world!
