Dr. Peter Greaves

Peter Greaves is the Principal R&D Engineer (Blade Structures) working in the Research Technical Capability directorate at the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult. He studied Mechanical and Design Engineering at Newcastle University, which led to a brief period working in the offshore industry. After this, he obtained an MSc in renewable energy, also from Newcastle University. His doctoral studies at Durham University were focused on bi-axial fatigue testing of wind turbine blades, and he continues to be heavily involved with blade testing at ORE Catapult. His research interests are mainly on structural simulations of blades and blade testing.
