Oshen's micro-vessels: results from in-field testing and engineering challenges faced

Anahita Laverack

Co-founder, Oshen

Holding a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London, Anahita completed her Master's in the design and navigation of transatlantic autonomous micro-vessels. In early 2022, she founded Oshen, a startup focused on the mass deployment of autonomous, micro-vessels for ocean data collection. Along with co-founder and partner Ciaran, she initially developed the micro-vessel technology in North Wales, living on a 25ft sailboat and using it as a base to test their technology at sea. Anahita currently oversees Oshen's strategic development and hardware design, applying her specialised knowledge to advance autonomous marine sensing technologies.
