Dr Alexander Phillips

Biography

Alexander’s research is developing technologies that will enhance the performance of the next generation of maritime robots. Much of his work has concentrated on the development of numerical tools to predict the hydrodynamic performance of maritime vehicles. This can then be utilised to: reduce power consumption, improve manoeuvrability and be used to develop enhanced control strategies.
