Suzanne J.M.H. Hulscher

Prof. Suzanne J.M.H. Hulscher is a Full Professor in Water Systems at the University of Twente, specializing in fluvial and coastal morphodynamics. Her research focuses on flood risk management, sediment dynamics, and climate adaptation. She has contributed to over 845 publications and supervised 55 research projects, including Vera van Bergeijk's PhD work on overtopping flows. Key achievements include the Simon Stevin Meester award (2016) and multiple best paper awards.

Her work addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals through studies on saltwater intrusion, dike breach modeling, and nature-based solutions. Research highlights include hydraulic model calibration, estuarine sand wave dynamics, and vegetation effects on hydrodynamics. She actively contributes to editorial roles (CivilEng Journal) and policy advisory bodies (Wetenschappelijke Raad). Her interdisciplinary efforts bridge engineering, ecology, and climate science.

• Research areas: Coastal morphology, river dynamics, environmental hydraulics
• Key collaborations: 4TU.Centre for Research Data, IAHR, Netherlands Academy of Engineering
• Grants: Not explicitly listed, but extensive publications imply significant funding

Her lab focuses on combining field data with numerical modeling for real-world applications like flood dashboard development and machine learning-based prediction systems. Current projects explore climate change impacts on engineered estuaries and distributive justice in climate policy.
