Offshore Technology Research Program – Floating Structures

In this internship cluster, the graduate student interns will investigate relevant research topics facing the offshore industry operating in harsh offshore and ocean environments. The research topics will include the investigation of ice loads and shallow water waves, response of floating structures and dynamic positioning in harsh environments, structural integrity of vessels and structures in ocean environments, safety, and marine corrosion protection of floating structures The innovative nature of this project lies in the value-added experience for the graduate students by providing them with an opportunity to work in their research area with leading oil and gas operators, classification societies, engineering firms and/or world-class research institutes. Both the company and student gain from the technology transfer and shared experiences. The internship will allow the students to develop professional skills important for their transition into the workforce after research is complete and will provide the partner company the opportunity to build….
