Cassidy Westin: OGS

Congratulations to Cassidy Westin for receiving an OGS award for his PhD! The research will focus on the development of an algorithm which could be implemented to predict instances of slack cable or detachment during marine towing operations. The algorithm will comprise a real-time “digital twin” of the cable system which will receive sensor... More
