... After a few years as research scientist in the Department of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island, in 2005 Dr. Grilli joined the faculty and has since been working on a variety of ocean renewable energy projects, for example, the siting in Rhode Island of Energetech's Oscillating Water Column wave energy plant (now
