About Tim de Wilde

Tim de Wilde graduated as a Hydraulic Engineer (MSc.) from Delft University of Technology after completing the bachelor of Aerospace Engineering. Since 2022, he has been working as an advisor/researcher in the department of Applied Morphodynamics. He participated in national and international projects related to coastal and estuarine morphodynamics, dredging and sand nourishment assessments, coastal erosion and sediment budgets.

Tim is experienced with working with advanced modelling techniques in the field of tides, waves, salinity, sediment transport and morphodynamics, mainly in D-Flow Flexible Mesh. He has been involved in physical modelling studies for e.g. sandy beaches, ebb tidal deltas and estuaries. This include i.a. the effects and assessment of dredging and dumping operations, sand nourishments and/or sand mining.

As a coastal morphologist, Tim tries to combine data analysis, physical modelling and stakeholder engagement to enhance the system knowledge of a project area. In this way it is possible to thoroughly understand and assess the impact of e.g. anthropogenic activities on the morphodynamics of a system.
