Research Statement
Dr Carwyn Frost is a lecturer in Civil Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB). He has expertise in experimental testing of marine energy converters in the laboratory and field, and is experienced in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations. Dr Frost is a BSI committee member (PEL/114) and co-convenor of the IEC TC114 AG2 working committee ‘Turbulence Characterisation’ technical subgroup. Dr Frost is currently PI on the H2020 LiftWEC project (€3M, EC Grant ID: 851885), Vertical Axis Tidal Turbines in Strangford, VATTS (£368k, CASE grant no. A1122) and Co-I on the recently awarded Environmental Monitoring for Tidal Energy Converters, EMTEC (£363k, CASE grant no. A1142) project. Dr Frost aims to promote the ORE sector by facilitating field testing and measurement campaigns suitable for R&E in the ORE community.
