M.B. Duinkerken

M.B. Duinkerken serves as a Professor in the Department of Transport Engineering and Logistics within the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology. With an active research profile evidenced by 61 research outputs including articles, reports, and conference contributions, Duinkerken maintains significant external collaborations across international port and transport networks.

Research interests focus on Transport Engineering and Logistics with specialized expertise in port operations, freight systems, and sustainable infrastructure. Key areas include:

• Port safety and risk management for emerging technologies like ammonia bunkering
• Renewable energy infrastructure logistics, particularly offshore wind farm installation
• Intelligent transportation systems for freight and high-speed rail networks
• Digital transformation in container terminal operations and supply chain transparency

Recent publications reveal a strong trend toward sustainability-focused transport solutions, with 60% of 2022-2025 outputs addressing decarbonization challenges in ports, freight, and rail systems. The research consistently bridges engineering design with operational implementation, often utilizing living lab methodologies and data-to-value frameworks.

Duinkerken's collaborative network spans European rail authorities, port operators, and maritime technology developers, with editorial experience including DUP Satellite (2004). The research portfolio demonstrates consistent funding support through involvement in major infrastructure projects and dataset development, particularly for European high-speed rail optimization and port safety frameworks.
