Students
Our student's creativity and passion create knowledge and drive our research. Undergraduates use MTU Wave and work with faculty and graduate students to test wave energy converter designs for capstone projects and yearly Marine Energy Converter Competition entries. Students pursuing M.S. and Ph.D. degrees develop both core and project-specific skills. Core skills include modeling and simulation, wave tank experimental techniques, control system design, and real-time implementation. Project-specific skills include machine learning, optimal control, and nonlinear control.
