Robert Brown

Dr. Robert Brown is a research scientist in offshore and maritime safety at the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland. His expertise is human factors and equipment performance in maritime and offshore emergency situations (evacuation, survival and rescue). Dr. Brown works both in laboratory environments and at full scale during field trials at sea and uses results to mathematically model the processes and validate models developed. Prior to joining the Marine Institute, Dr. Brown was an ice engineer at C-CORE where he developed Monte-Carlo-based probabilistic risk models for ice impact with offshore structures and pipelines.
