Ms Chipolina's her research into 'flapping foil on a wave-powered autonomous vehicle' was found to be 'compelling and relevant'.
Maritime Minister Robert Court paid tribute to the collaborative research programme. 'It is more important than ever to be able to come together as a sector to celebrate progress, and look to the future research and innovation for our leading academic institutions will be vital to the recovery and future growth of the UK as a maritime nation.'
