Marine and Coastal Engineering

I conduct research into the hydraulic performance of hybrid solutions for coastal protection against flooding and erosion. The hybrid solutions I study combine conventional grey infrastructure with coastal ecosystems. I work primarily in the laboratory and on detailed numerical modelling of ecosystems such as salt marshes and mangroves. In addition, I also collaborate on projects in which we study the protective services provided by certain coastal ecosystems (including salt marshes, mangroves, oysters and corals) based on field measurements. Although I am currently focused on hybrid solutions, I have also worked on the analysis and numerical modelling of extreme events such as hurricanes.
