معرفی
Tim Leijnse is a part-time PhD Candidate in the department of Water and Climate Risk at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He is also a coastal engineer at Deltares, where he has worked since 2018, focusing on coastal modeling and compound flooding research.
Education:
- MSc in Hydraulic Engineering (TU Delft, 2018)
- BSc in Civil Engineering (TU Delft, 2015)
Research Interests: Coastal hazards, compound flood modeling, tropical cyclones, storm surges, and wave propagation. His work emphasizes improving large-scale coastal flood risk assessments by integrating wave-driven components using models like Delft3D, SFINCS, and XBeach.
Key Research Contributions: His publications address the role of waves in coastal flooding, probabilistic flood modeling, and uncertainty analysis in tropical cyclone forecasting. These studies highlight advancements in computational efficiency and coupled modeling techniques.
Awards & Grants: No scientific awards listed. Active in the COASTMOVE project under Prof. Jeroen Aerts and Dr. Sanne Muis, focusing on coastal hazard mitigation.
Labs & Collaborations: Collaborates with IVM, Deltares, and international partners (e.g., Australia, Bangladesh, Caribbean, EU). His work bridges academia and applied coastal engineering.
