Dr Dimitri Costa presentation at ICOVP/WMVC 2025
Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen Dr Dimitri Costa recently shared his work “Non-invasive control of a coupled pair of parametric pendulum for sea-wave energy generation” at the prestigious International Conference on Vibration Problems and International Conference of Wave Mechanics and Vibrations ICOVP/WMVC 2025. The conference is organised biannually, most recently by the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon and by the Department of Civil Engineering of the Nova School of Science and Technology.
Since 1990, ICOVP has attracted the active participation of scientists, academics, graduate students, and engineers from various countries to share, discuss, and present the recent developments and state-of-the-art techniques related to wave mechanics and vibration problems, and has been held in numerous parts of the globe, including India, Turkey, Greece, Portugal and Qatar
Dimitri was invited to present his research on enhancing the efficiency of green energy devices alongside other panellists focusing on renewable energy systems in September 2025 at Caparica, Lisbon, Portugal.
Dr Costa’s attendance was sponsored by the University of Aberdeen (UoA) and SEN Hub, which actively promotes research on energy transition, interdisciplinary collaboration, and industry-academia partnerships to drive the Net Zero transition. The hub is part of the Supergen Programme, which is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The SEN Hub aims to advance the transition to sustainable energy and low-carbon emissions by focusing on innovations and collaborations in Net Zero systems, bridging the distance between innovation and impactful applications.
“Funding from the SEN Hub is a great opportunity for early-career researchers who want to establish their own network of collaborations and disseminate their work”
Dr Costa stated after the conference:
“The conference was a great avenue to strengthen some connections and create new meaningful ones, especially with researchers interested in offshore technologies. This was only possible due to the funding received from the SEN Hub. This is a great opportunity for early-career researchers who want to establish their own network of collaborations and disseminate their work. I would highly recommend others to apply for this funding opportunity”.
