The appointee will conduct innovative research as part of the H-Wind project under the direction of the project’s Principal Investigator Dr Paul Leahy in collaboration with other technical advisors and industry experts.
The researcher is expected to contribute the development and validation of mathematical and integrated models for offshore wind – hydrogen hubs, and to develop element models including balance of plant, platforms, power cables, and storage. The researcher will also support other aspects including project communications, engagement with stakeholders, safety requirements, and policy recommendations.
The appointee is expected to contribute to the delivery of the H-Wind project’s deliverables and communicate the project’s results at high-impact national and international events and support the Wind-to-Hydrogen toolkit, an open-source repository of simulation tools.
