“
This course was an invaluable learning experience for me, especially as someone new to the industry. From finite element analysis to advanced simulation tools for wave and wind interaction, I had the opportunity to explore the cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of offshore wind. I now feel more confident navigating the technical aspects of offshore wind design and analysis and I am excited to apply this knowledge as I continue to build my career in the field.
