T.B.J. Coenen MSc (Tom)

PhD Candidate / Lecturer

About Me

After finishing the Master's programme of Construction Management & Engineering at the UT in 2017 with a thesis on innovation policy in the construction industry, I conducted a PDEng project on measuring circularity of bridge designs between 2017 and 2019. Currently, I am working as a PhD candidate on the transition towards a circular infrastructure sector focusing on transition practices funded by Rijkswaterstaat infrastructure agency.
