I'm a graduate of Memorial University's undergraduate co-op engineering program (1988) and also did a Master of Engineering degree at MUN (1990). Following that, I did further graduate studies at Helsinki University of Technology where I got a Licentiate of Science in Technology degree (1993) and a Doctor of Science in Technology degree (1995). I returned to Canada in 1996 to work at NRC's Institute for Marine Dynamics where I stayed until I joined Memorial.
I joined the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science in 1998 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2001. I teach in the Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering discipline, hold the Terra Nova Project Junior Research Chair in Ocean Environmental Risk Engineering, and am currently the Director of the Ocean Engineering Research Centre.
I'm an active researcher and work on a range of applied research projects including offshore and marine safety, marine propellers, and ocean environmental risk. Most of my work is done in a setting that involves a team of students, technicians, and researchers from universities, research institutions, industry, and government. The team setting fosters innovation and provides an exciting, supportive learning environment. I'm also involved in several professional associations, including the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.
