Marco is our Technical advisor. He has wide experience in theoretical physics and applied industrial research as a university full professor and researcher in Italy and abroad. He was awarded with several prizes for projects in the domain of renewable energy (Vespucci prize, 2008; Aramco prize, 2015; Venezia prize, 2015). He is author of about 70 papers of theoretical physics published in international reviews, including more than 30 papers in the domain of renewable energies and floating PV and two books for the Academic Press on the subject of Floating PV. Marco is part of our team on the DNV GL Recommended Practices JIP.
Trevor has recently retired from Queen’s University Belfast where he was Professor of Coastal Engineering a Queen’s, Head of the Marine Renewables research group and a former Head of the School of Planning, Architecture and Civil Engineering. Since retiring Trevor works with us on the development of our floating solar structures for nearshore deployment. In 2002 He was elected as a fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering in recognition of his pioneering work on Wave Energy. He is also a fellow of The Royal Institute of Naval Architects and The Institution of Civil Engineers and a Chartered Engineer. He has over 40 years of experience in leading multi-disciplinary R&D teams delivering projects on wave and tidal stream energy.
