Glenn Strypsteen is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at KU Leuven's Hydraulics and Geotechnics unit (Bruges Campus), funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO). His work focuses on coastal processes with emphasis on aeolian sediment dynamics and dune development along Belgium's urbanized coastline. As holder of a competitive FWO fellowship and recipient of the Brilliant Marine Research Idea 2021 award, he contributes to advancing practical coastal protection strategies through rigorous field and modeling research. Strypsteen's research centers on Coastal Engineering and Geomorphology, specifically investigating how wind-driven sediment transport, vegetation establishment, and beach morphology interact to shape dune systems. His work combines field measurements of natural beaches, numerical modeling (including development of the AeoLiS framework), and experimental analysis to understand dune formation mechanisms. Key interests include fetch-limited transport processes, vegetation-sediment feedbacks, and the long-term evolution of restored dune systems following interventions like beach nourishment and grass planting. Analysis of his 10 publications (2021-2024) reveals a consistent focus on practical coastal management challenges, particularly for Belgium's macro-tidal coast. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration across institutions, with publications spanning Coastal Engineering , Earth Surface Processes and Landforms , and Geomorphology . Recurring themes include quantifying vegetation effects on dune growth, analyzing sand budget dynamics, and developing predictive models for dune evolution under varying environmental conditions. Scientific recognition includes: Brilliant Marine Research Idea 2021 award (as Promotor) Supported by his FWO Postdoctoral Fellowship, Strypsteen operates within KU Leuven's Hydraulics and Geotechnics research ecosystem. While his postdoctoral role doesn't involve primary student supervision, he contributes to the research environment through collaborative projects and publications. His work maintains strong connections with Belgian coastal management authorities, ensuring research addresses real-world protection challenges. As part of KU Leuven's Bruges Campus research team, Strypsteen collaborates within a multidisciplinary group focused on coastal and geotechnical engineering. The unit combines fundamental process studies with applied solutions for coastal resilience, frequently partnering with government agencies and international researchers to develop evidence-based management strategies for sandy shorelines facing climate change pressures.
