REM Research Group

The REM (Renewable Energy Mechanisms) Research Group focuses on the design, analysis, modeling, manufacture, and testing of mechanical and electromechanical systems related to renewable energy generation.  We also tackle the physics based modeling and the mechanical design/analysis of systems subject to challenging manufacturing or operational requirements.

 

The most up to date list of publications for the group can be found at Google Scholar here
