Mae ei ymchwil yn cynnwys:

Rhyngweithio llafnau tro tyrbinau llanw gyda llifoedd cyfunol y llanw, tonnau a llifoedd cythryblus; arolwg llongau morol o safleoedd tonnau a llanw ynni uchel; modelu CFD o beiriannau tonnau, tyrbinau llanw, araeau, olion llongau, sgwrio a dyddodiad; dadansoddiad effaith amgylcheddol o safleoedd ynni'r tonnau a'r llanw.
Ymchwil Abertawe oedd man cychwyn Consortiwm Morol y Sefydliad Ymchwil Carbon Isel (LCRI Marine), a ffurfiwyd yn 2006 i gynnal ymchwil o'r radd flaenaf i gynhyrchu ynni trydan adnewyddadwy o donnau, llanwau a cherrynt mewn cefnforoedd, aberoedd ac afonydd. Mae'n cynnwys holl Brifysgolion Cymru. Er mwyn sicrhau perthnasedd diwydiannol yr ymchwil, ffurfiwyd Grŵp Gorchwyl Ynni Morol Cymru yn 2008. Gyda thros 50 o aelodau o ddiwydiant, llywodraeth a grwpiau amgylcheddol, mae'n cefnogi ymdrechion i gynhyrchu ynni morol o amgylch arfordir Cymru.

EGA334 Mechanical Engineering Design 3

This module demonstrates the outcomes of three years of learning and applies multiple skills to a design project. The project will show that students can manage and deliver a design task, as a team, through all stages of the design process. Students should progress from specification to concept design, undertake analysis (using computer tools as appropriate) and produce a design report and assembly drawings.
EGTM71 Power Generation Systems

This module will provide a detailed introduction to the technology, politics and economics of power generation and its distribution, with an emphasis on the UK network. The main topics include power for transport applications and electricity generation. Case studies of traditional power plant (including coal, oil, gas, nuclear) will be followed by an assessment of current and future low carbon and sustainable technologies (wind, wave, tidal, solar, biomass).
