Erfan Poursoleymanzadeh
I am Erfan, currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Twente as part of the SOURCE project. My research centers on coastal morphology and sediment transport, with a focus on improving nourishment strategies for the Dutch coastline. Specifically, I am investigating the role of grain size in coastal erosion processes, aiming to provide insights that will inform more sustainable coastal management practices.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Tabriz University in Iran and a Master’s degree from Politecnico di Milano in Italy, where I specialized in risk mitigation in civil engineering. My Master’s thesis focused on sediment transport in rivers and its contribution to flood risk, and I am now applying my expertise to coastal environments, contributing to the development of innovative solutions for coastal resilience.
Recently relocated to Enschede, I look forward to collaborating with colleagues and contributing to the SOURCE project’s mission of advancing coastal nourishment, and sustainability.
