Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Jana Orszaghova. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Jana works as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia (UWA) and serves as the Deputy Program Leader for Offshore Renewable Energy Systems at the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre. Her research primarily focuses on marine renewable energy, emphasizing the development of ocean technologies. She applies her mathematical and numerical skills to address practically important challenges in the field of hydrodynamics. Jana earned her PhD in coastal ocean engineering from the University of Oxford, UK, and holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in mathematics from the same institution. Before returning to academia in 2016, she spent four years working in the industry. Her research includes studying wave-structure interactions relevant to renewable energy, including wave energy converters and floating and fixed offshore wind turbines. Jana is particularly interested in non-linear excitation mechanisms and maintains close ties with the offshore industry to enhance the safety, reliability, and economy of marine energy systems. Her work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in relation to education and economic development in renewable energy.
