"I feel fortunate to have found IDCORE – it allowed me to continue my academic career but in a far more applied context and without having to follow the classical PhD route. It also allowed me to pursue my joint interests in engineering and the environment.”

Nadia recently completed an MSc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh and was seeking to develop her knowledge further with a PhD. IDCORE was appealing as it created a bridge between industrial experience and academic research in the rewarding, rapidly expanding area of offshore renewables.
