Research Mentoring in Offshore Wind and Marine Energy
Undergraduate and Graduate Research Mentoring, University of Michigan, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, 2026
I mentor graduate students conducting research on offshore wind platforms and have advised four undergraduate researchers through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). Projects have engaged students in offshore wind development, environmental impacts, and wind-turbine power systems.
My mentoring approach emphasizes ownership of meaningful research questions, transparent expectations, regular feedback, and communication of engineering results to varied audiences.
