Samuel Draycott

Samuel Draycott is a Senior Lecturer in Ocean Engineering at The University of Manchester, Department of Civil Engineering and Management. His research focuses on wave energy conversion, mooring systems, and numerical modeling of offshore renewable energy technologies. Draycott's work contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 7, 9, 13, and 14. He has published research on data-driven condition monitoring, design optimization, and power generation in wave energy converters. Draycott is also involved in collaborative projects such as the Supergen ORE Impact Hub and the TIGER tidal energy project.

Samuel Draycott is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the University of Manchester, specializing in wave mechanics, offshore renewable energy, extreme waves, coastal engineering, and ocean engineering. His research focuses on understanding wave dynamics, particularly in the context of extreme wave events and their impact on coastal and offshore structures. Draycott's work includes experimental and numerical studies of wave loading, wave breaking, and the interaction of waves with currents. He has investigated the behavior of waves in multidirectional wave basins and their role in the design of renewable energy systems. His research contributes to the development of more resilient coastal infrastructure and efficient offshore energy technologies.
