Staff Profile
Background
Yi Zhou is a Research Assistant/Associate in Marine, Offshore and Subsea Technology Group, School of Engineering, Newcastle University. He holds a MSc degree in Marine Engineering from Newcastle University (2016). His research field has been focusing on the Modelling & Control of Marine Mechanical & Electric Systems and Efficiency Optimization of Power & Energy Management System for Marine Power Systems.
Research
I am now focusing on a EU H2020 Project SusTunTech, which offers the integration and further development of existing technologies into existing commercial and pre-commercial products that can later be applied to other types of fishing vessels or even other shipping industries. This will contribute to the economic sustainability in fishing industry and increase in revenue for the products developers and research institution to continue their research and innovation activities after the project.
SUSTUNTECH will contribute to improve Copernicus (the European system for monitoring the Earth) data. and services by using two fishing vessels as platforms to capture oceanographic data at least for one full year.
