Researcher CVs
Dr.
Robert Harris
Dr. Harris was a Lecturer in the School of Life Sciences at Heriot-Watt and has recently relocated to the University's Orkney campus, joining the ICIT / IPE research and teaching group. His main research interests lie in the fields of hydrodynamics, oceanography and more recently marine renewable energy systems, he has over 29 years experience in hydrodynamic model testing, and in offshore / marine structures.
Dr.
Karl Stephen
Dr. Stephen is a physicist and has been carrying out research and consultancy for the oil and gas industry at the Institute of Petroleum Engineering since 1996. He has worked on several projects, which have focussed on improving the modelling and prediction of hydrocarbon recovery from reservoirs. Karl is applying these interests to modelling tidal behaviour on the north coast of Scotland to ensure that energy converters can be appropriately located and operated.
