Ph.D. Student, Ocean Engineering. Fangzhou is working on field data collection, analysis, and numerical model simulations to better understand vessel wake impacts on shallow-bay systems and wetland edge erosion. The objectives of his research are not just to predict the impacts of vessel hydrodynamics on coastal systems, but also to explore how vessel-induced dynamics could be used in a beneficial way to mobilize and transport placed dredged sediment in support of nearby wetland systems suffering from erosion. The image shows Fangzhou exploring muddy marsh flats in the Netherlands. Back to Current CEL Team …
