Joel DeMello, Mechanical Engineer: Joel DeMello joined the Ocean Exploration team shortly after his recent graduation from the College of Engineering and Physical Science program at the University of New Hampshire. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering and is a current member of the University of New Hampshire's Robotics Club. In addition to working as a systems engineer and navigator for the ROV team, Joel's experience at the University of New Hampshire's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping has made him a prime candidate for his dual role in the multibeam mapping aspects of our operations. He has previously sailed on the Okeanos Explorer, where he participated in the mapping of the Mendicino and Gorda Ridges in 2009, and he continues to expand his skills as we further explore the waters off the coast of Indonesia. When not on assignment for Ocean Exploration, Joel resides in Durham, New Hampshire.
