Biography
Adi Kurniawan is a research fellow with the Marine Energy Research Australia (MERA), The University of Western Australia (UWA). His research covers aspects of wave energy conversion, wave-structure interactions, and multi-objective optimisation. He has numerically modelled a variety of wave energy converters (WECs) and is deeply interested in how geometry and motion influence wave absorption. Adi obtained his PhD in Marine Technology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Before joining UWA, he worked at Aalborg University, Denmark, and the University of Plymouth, UK. Adi is the co-author of Ocean Waves and Oscillating Systems: Linear Interactions Including Wave-Energy Extraction (2nd edition). He is a member of the Standards Australia Committee EL-066 on Marine energy - Wave, tidal and other water current converters.
Roles and responsibilities
Adi is a research fellow with the Marine Energy Research Australia in the Great Southern Marine Research Facility (GSMRF) in Albany, where he conducts research and supervision on wave energy. He is part of the Oceans Graduate School, which conducts research across the fields of oceanography, hydrodynamics, offshore geotechnics, coastal engineering, marine geoscience, and ecology.
