To take into account stakeholders’ needs and to have the broadest spectrum of knowledge available for the project, IMPACT has formed a Technical Advisory Board (TAB) that will be involved to provide advice on strategic direction.
The TAB will help select the set of parameters affecting the rigs design according to the main aspects to be tested for each subsystem. Members of the TAB are qualified individuals working for the most advanced wave energy companies.
A wide variety of backgrounds (engineering, finance, project management) and technology concepts (point absorbers, attenuators, oscillating wave surge converters and others) will be sought for the TAB.
Present TAB members

Samuel Etherington, Founder and Director, Aqua Power Technologies

Alexandre Pichard, CTO, Carnegie Clean Energy

Claudio Bittencourt Ferreira, BD Director, DNV

Andrea Gulisano, CEO, Wave For Energy
