Our Team

“I joined MECC because of the great opportunity I saw to be innovative and explore different parts of engineering. As a Computer Engineering major, I have never been close to exploring marine energy or the different mechanics in which that energy could be harvested.”

“The reason I joined MECC is simple; I love water-related sciences, and though I may not be the most informed in marine energy/technology, I am very excited to learn more and meet professionals of the field -plus I will be joining an amazing team! In addition to my passion towards water and hydrology, I am keen on making professional connections as well as academic, and being a part of this competition will help me expand my network.”

“I’ve always been interested in renewable energy sources and devices. The Marine Energy Collegiate Competition provides a unique opportunity to work with a group of like-minded students in order to gain more insight about the field of marine renewable energy devices.”

“The immense opportunities available at UH have allowed me to focus my time in many other areas of interest, aside from my studies. The MECC team provides students the chance to collaborate and innovate new ideas in the emerging blue economy. For me, being a part of this team means I can expand on my engineering knowledge and connect with like-minded peers.” 

“I joined the MECC team at the University of Houston because I am interested in the blue economy and renewable marine energy. I believe that these areas have the potential to make a significant positive impact on the environment and on the economy, and I wanted to be a part of a team that is working to promote and develop these technologies. Additionally, the competition being sponsored by the Department of Energy adds a level of legitimacy and importance to the work that we are doing, and I am excited to be a part of something that has the potential to make a difference on a national level.”
