  39th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore & Arctic Engineering - Online

  Participated in the OMAE 2020 coonference, which was originally planned to be held in Florida, USA, however due to the COVID19 pandemic, the conference was reorganised into a virtual conference held online. I presented preliminart results from the work from my Secondment at IST Lisbon on a novel control method to mitigate the occurrence of parametric resonance in an oscillating water column spar-buuy Paper
