With Eric Hines
As the U.S. offshore wind industry gathers momentum, the choices we make today will affect future outcomes for years to come. With the right frame of mind, we can move the U.S. offshore wind industry along a trajectory that prioritizes ocean health, lasting infrastructure, and high-quality jobs. We are standing in a historic moment, ripe with creative potential, and ready to make the most of our cutting edge of science, policies, and investments. Considering the scale of the global energy transition, this talk will share a long-term vision for practical engineering solutions and New England’s role as a global innovation hub.
Eric Hines, Ph.D., P.E. directs the offshore wind energy graduate program at Tufts University. Dr. Hines has over 25 years of experience engineering innovative infrastructure. Major offshore wind related projects include: the Wind Technology Testing Center in Charlestown, MA; the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal; the Partnership for Offshore Wind Energy Research (POWER-US); Digital Twinning the Block Island Wind Farm; and Transmission Expansion Planning for U.S. Offshore Wind. He works at the technology/policy interface to develop systems-level design concepts and has received numerous awards for his work in industry-driven research.
