      - Final Year MEng Project at the Unsteady Flow Diagnostics Laboratory (UNFoLD) in Lausanne, Switzerland. - Experimentally investigating the development of dynamic stall on a model H-type vertical-axis wind turbine using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and aerodynamic load measurements. - The aim is to quantify the parametric dependence of turbine performance metrics such as torque generation and load fluctuations while evaluating the respective evolutions of dynamic stall vortices. - This project is a first step towards future research at UNFoLD which will investigate the potential of individual blade pitching to improve the efficiency and mitigate dynamic stall on vertical-axis wind turbines. - Presented preliminary results at the Applied Vehicle Technology conference in May, 2021 - Presented at the AIAA SciTech Forum and Exposition in January, 2022 (San Diego, CA)
