George Hagerman has over 38 years’ experience working on ocean renewable energy systems, including offshore wind, wave power, tidal current energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion. His research focuses on resource assessment, metocean data analysis, test site development, and energy cost modeling of technology innovations. He has been a Senior Project Scientist at the Old Dominion University Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography in Norfolk, Virginia since January 2018. Prior to that, he was a Senior Research Associate at the Virginia Tech Advanced Research Institute in Hampton, Virginia, and a member of the front-end engineering design team for the offshore wind advanced technology demonstration project led by Dominion Virginia Power, where he was responsible for helping prepare work scopes and reviewing work products for the metocean design basis. Now named the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project, these two demonstration turbines are scheduled for installation in 2020.
