The research of Menno focuses on the effects of a foreshore, as a climate adaptation measure, on the wave impact on a breakwater. In his research, he will perform physical model experiments and apply numerical simulations to quantify the relevant processes. He is employed part-time (0.2 FTE) at Deltares, where he works on projects related to wave hydrodynamics. He holds an MSc. in Civil Engineering at the faculty of Hydraulic Engineering, TU Delft.
