Projects
- Due Diligence Work on the Design of a Floating Rig for Kelp Farming
- Rodriguez Castillo, Claudio Alexis (Principal Investigator)
- This project was led my myself from the negotiation stage (scope and cost), specifications and coordination with the client, execution to its deliverables (final report). The project consisted in the elaboration of the state-of-the-art review on support structures for offshore kelp farming, providing recommendations for the client. Then, the concept design of a floating rig for offshore kelp farming (provided by the client) was analysed in terms of engineering soundness. The results were consolidated in a final technical report.

- Ocean Renewable Energy Fuel (REFuel): Next Generation Renewable Ocean Energy
- Brennan, Feargal (Principal Investigator) Collu, Maurizio (Co-investigator) Rodriguez Castillo, Claudio Alexis (Researcher)
- As part of the research team of the University of Strathclyde, I am responsible for the concept selection and design of offshore floating substructures for the integrated production of wind energy and hydrogen, based on multicriteria design and optimisation techniques. This project is being developed in strong cooperation with other UK university partners and industrial stakeholders. So far, the outcomes have been published in conferences and scientific journals,
