Research at IMT
Marine Energy Systems and Autonomics (MESA)
MESA works in three major research areas: energy conversion systems and machinery; robotics, cybernetics and autonomy; as well as risk and safety assessment.
Marine Structures
The Marine Structures group covers both marine structures and marine hydrodynamics. Research on ships, offshore wind, floating bridges and solar islands are some of the topics.
Marine Systems Design
We do research in marine projects; how to design new systems with excellent performance in the context where the system will operate.
Research groups at IMT
Department of Marine Technology has three research groups with several subgroups in each.
Our philosophy is to develop and maintain knowledge and tools that are important in marine technology, and then apply them to existing and new applications, like floating offshore wind turbines, floating solar plants, autonomous ships, or submerged tube bridges for crossing the deep Norwegian fjords.
Much of the department’s research is multi- and interdisciplinary. Our department and students regularly partner with colleagues in other departments and across disciplines in our own department.
We have several laboratories where the research is conducted.
