Biography
Dylan Green is a DPhil student in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. His research focuses on the wake dynamics of floating offshore wind turbines, using computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing to better understand complex flow behaviour in offshore environments.
He holds an MMathPhys from the University of Manchester, where his studies combined applied mathematics, physics, and scientific computing. His master’s work spanned both cancer research, applying data-driven methods to medical imaging, and numerical approaches to wave scattering problems.
Prior to his doctoral studies, Dylan was a research intern at the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics under Professor Anne Juel, where he investigated microfluidics and elastic wrinkling instabilities. His broader interests include large-scale simulation, numerical methods, and their application to renewable energy systems.
