• Currently writing an article on the topic of 'mechanical stem breakage by coastal waves' based on my MSc graduation thesis (to be published in a scientific journal in 2017) • Analyzing wave and vegetation data for the Project BE SAFE (Bio-Engineering for SAFEty) • Assessing how to reduce flood risk in a vegetated foreshore

• Created an optimized and efficient unstructured grid in the newly developed Delft 3D-Flexible Mesh (FM), applied to the Sand Engine in the Netherlands • Analyzed 2D vs. 3D model runs in Delft 3D-FM for various hydrodynamic parameters (flow velocity, bed shear stress, direction, etc.) and time step limiting factors • Produced Screencast video clips for outside users to easily learn and apply the Delft 3D-FM software to the user’s already existing Delft 3D grid

• Assessed legal property documents, survey notes, manuals and specifications • Provided technical input for hydrology and drainage plans for various environmental permits • Analyzed hydrological and hydraulic designs of overland flows for bridge, subway and road infrastructure projects • Developed flood maps, site plans, drainage and sewer profiles for internal and external use • Illustrated and communicated information into presentable written, numerical, or electronic format (AutoCAD, MicroStation)

Master of Science specialized in Hydraulic/Coastal Engineering • Course work: Coastal/Ocean/River Dynamics, Probabilistic Design, etc. • Graduation thesis in Bio-Engineering for SAFEty (BE SAFE) Project – Sea dikes and vegetated foreshores for flood protection and seasonal wave attenuation

Bachelor of Science specialized in Hydrology and Environment, secondary focus in Construction Management with International Minor in French Culture • Certified Engineer Intern (equiv. Fundamentals of Engineering) in Illinois, USA • James Scholar (based on academic excellence) since Fall 2008
