... has focused on the statistical analysis of inflow and turbine loads data, on characterization of the spatial coherence in inflow turbulence, and on establishing design loads using inverse reliability techniques. His work related to offshore wind turbines has included the consideration, in reliability analyses, of alternative foundation models for monopiles; nonlinear waves in shallow waters; wind-wave correlation at near-shore sites; and the coupled dynamics in motions and loads on a spar buoy-supported floating offshore wind turbine.
