Dr Steve Simmons
| Biography | Steve is a Lecturer in Energy and Environment with a PhD from Newcastle University in underwater acoustics with 25 years' experience of working in academia and industry. |
|---|---|
| Research Interests | Steve has research interests in the development of our understanding of sedimentary processes through the application of novel acoustic measurements of flow and sediment transport over scales ranging from the laboratory flume to the deep ocean. He has published work on the application of these methods to the interactions of marine renewable energy installations with flow and sediment transport. His work in the environmental sciences has been fundamental to developing a better understanding of the driving forces of seafloor avalanches of sediment called turbidity currents. |
| Teaching and Learning | Steve teaches on the MSc in Renewable Energy and Low Carbon Solutions in the Energy and Environment Institute. He currently teaches and provides supervision on the following modules: Research Skills in Renewable Energy and Low caron Solutions (Module Leader) Research Challenges Dissertation |
