Welcome to my profile. I am a postdoc in the Marine and Fluvial Systems research group. My research interests include tidal sandbanks, marine bedforms, nature-based coastal defences, and coastal flood risk modelling. I focus on advancing the UT research portfolio on the evolution of tidal sandbanks. Previously, I have obtained a PhD on the coastal protection services of salt marshes with flexible vegetation at Swansea University, UK. I have also worked as a consultant on hydrodynamic models at Nelen & Schuurmans.
