Research groups at IMT

Research groups at IMT

Department of Marine Technology has three research groups with several subgroups in each. 

Our philosophy is to develop and maintain knowledge and tools that are important in marine technology, and then apply them to existing and new applications, like floating offshore wind turbines, floating solar plants, autonomous ships, or submerged tube bridges for crossing the deep Norwegian fjords.
 
Much of the department’s research is multi- and interdisciplinary. Our department and students regularly partner with colleagues in other departments and across disciplines in our own department. 

We have several laboratories where the research is conducted.
