COER enjoys and benefits from welcoming a number of interns each year. This year, Markel Aristegui from Mondragon University in the Basque Country, where he is working towards his undergraduate engineering degree, joined us for an internship with COER until June 2024. Markel’s final year project focuses on the development and control of an all-electric hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment for point absorber wave energy converters. During his time with COER, as well as developing his final year project, Markel attended a conference and gave two presentations to the COER group.
On his return, he gave a presentation to his class and supervisors (rather familiar faces), while sporting some very distinguished attire!
