Michael Togneri

Dr. Michael Togneri is a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, based in the Energy Security Research Institute on the Bay Campus. His research focuses on tidal stream energy, particularly improving turbine design and understanding turbulence effects to enhance energy production and reduce maintenance needs. Collaborations include institutions like the University of Normandy and Nagasaki University, alongside industrial partners for real-world data collection.

• Research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Clean Energy) and 9 (Industry & Innovation).
• Current projects include offshore energy supply chains and autonomous drone boat turbulence measurement.
• Available for postgraduate supervision in tidal energy systems.

Key achievements include developing numerical models for tidal turbines and analyzing tidal resource viability in global sites like the Goto Islands, Japan.
