David Parish
Project Engineer, PRIMaRE, University of Exeter
Dave Parish studied Mechanical Engineering at Kingston Polytechnic and Loughborough University during the late 1970s / early 1980s. He then worked as an Engineer and Manager in the manufacturing sector for more than 20 years gaining considerable technical and managerial experience.
In 2004 Dave committed to a career change and returned to academic studies at UoE graduating with a 1st class honours degree in Renewable Energy (2007). He has since been employed at UoE as a Research Project Engineer within the Primare team.
Recent research contributions include the design and construction of the SWMTF buoy, support of the Seawatch Mini wave buoy cluster and contributions to the conception of DMac (Dynamic Marine Component Test Rig).
Dave is developing a novel mooring tether for marine renewables applications which forms part of his PHD research work (part time study). This work draws on his design engineering background together with his more recently acquired knowledge of marine renewables.
Dave’s current teaching contribution is leading the CSM 2045 Energy Management module at UoE and delivering the bulk of the lectures within this module.
