Bankable yield and LCOE optimisation for wind energy.

Accurate yield

Accelerated delivery

Optimal design

Automated engineering

Shorter design cycles

Scientific lead

Majid
Bastankhah

I love working at the intersection of academia and industry, combining academic rigour with the practical needs of industrial projects. My experience spans high-fidelity numerical simulations, experiments and fast engineering models. I support organisations with yield analysis, wake modelling, farm-to-farm interactions, and wind farm control design.
While many know me for the Gaussian/Bastankhah wake model, I am just as dedicated to solving new industrial challenges.
When I’m not modelling fluid dynamics, I’m usually busy being a dad of two.
Based in Durham, UK.

Engineering lead

Bruno
Nguyen

Like Obelix, I fell into the cauldron of renewables at a young age and haven’t looked back.
I completed my MSc in Wind Energy at DTU before working as a wind consultant at Mott MacDonald. I then joined RWE where I worked as a Principal Wind Analyst, developing the layout optimisation, floating yield and post-construction assessment capabilities on top of standard resource assessment tasks.
Often described as a "Swiss Army knife" by my colleagues, I enjoy the challenge of unexplored technical frontiers and solving technical puzzles.
Outside of work, you’ll find me cycling around Paris or on the squash court.
Based in Paris, France.

Systems Engineering lead

Sebastian
Sanchez Perez-Moreno

I care about the beauty of the solution as much as the math; my passion is solving design problems, whether in systems engineering or graphic design.
I'm a Physicist and scientific programmer. I hold a PhD in multidisciplinary design analysis and optimisation of offshore wind farms from TU Delft and spent six years as the technical lead in offshore wind farm optimisation at RWE and Shell.
When I’m not deep in a codebase, I’m usually re-discovering the small details of life through the eyes of my two small children, reminding me what really matters.
Based in Hamburg, Germany.

I have worked closely with Sebastian and Bruno for several years, on several offshore wind farm projects as well as internal tools and systems development. They are fantastic colleagues who are always a pleasure to work with: experienced, knowledgeable, insightful, enthusiastic and positive. Great as team members or working on their own initiative. They are some of the best technical problem solvers I have ever worked with. If you have wind farm design problems to solve, or need modelling support, they are probably your dream team.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Sebastian Sanchez Perez‑Moreno during his time at Shell, where he was a driving force behind the development and delivery of HOP (Holistic Optimisation) for offshore wind. Sebastian has a rare ability to combine deep engineering expertise with systems thinking, automation and optimisation. Through HOP, he brought together multidisciplinary experts, integrated complex toolchains, and fundamentally changed how early‑stage wind farm design and decision‑making were approached—faster, more transparent, and with demonstrably better outcomes. What truly sets Sebastian apart, however, is his exceptional ability to communicate highly complex technical and systems‑engineering concepts to non‑experts. He can explain optimisation, automation and other complex engineering topics in a way that is intuitive, engaging and actionable for decision‑makers, enabling alignment and confident choices at all levels of the organisation. Beyond his technical skills, Sebastian is a natural leader: he builds trust, creates momentum, and enables teams to do their best work. He consistently challenges the status quo while remaining pragmatic and delivery‑focused, ensuring innovation translates into real business value. Any organisation looking to evolve its renewables engineering capability—optimising workflows, reducing cost, and embedding automation at scale—would be extremely fortunate to work with Sebastian. I fully endorse him and am excited to see the impact of his new venture.

Over the last decade, Majid Bastankhah has made use of his fluid dynamics expertise to develop some of the leading analytical models of wind turbine wakes, which have come to be widely used by the international research community. It has been a great pleasure for me to collaborate with him on recent research projects. He has a deep and insightful knowledge of this field, and as a professor he is clearly a kind and thoughtful teacher and supervisor.

Ervin Bossanyi
Wind Energy Expert

I had the pleasure of working with Sebastian and have always appreciated his ability to translate complex technical ideas into practical, well-engineered solutions. He combines strong technical skills with a thoughtful approach to problem solving and collaboration.

I’m excited to see him launch Anemona and look forward to the impact the platform can have for developers and teams looking to build better tools and workflows.
