Masters in Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)

Currently attending MSc in Sustainable Engineering: Offshore Renewable Energy, Strathclyde University, Glasgow. Offshore wind and wave resources and synergy alongside with an unlimited area of their exploitation incites the market to turn to deep see waters and far from shore. The development of floating platforms, utilized as O&M bases for supporting floating wind/marine farms is an absolute challenge for the renewable sector.
