Coastal Engineering

The main fields of expertise of the coastal engineering research group are:

• The design, construction and monitoring of coastal structures (mainly breakwaters and sea dikes)
• The experimental and numerical modeling of wave propagation and interaction with coastal structures
• The development and usage of instruments for field measurements
• Renewable (wave, tide, offshore wind) energy conversion

The specialized staff members are involved in national and international projects on coastal defense and ocean energy conversion.
