TU Delft
About
Bas Hofland holds an MSc and PhD degree from Delft University of Technology. He has been active in research, advise, and modelling of coastal and hydraulic structures since 1999. This work has been done both in an academic environment, as well as in a more applied environment at Deltares. He is experienced in coastal engineering, as well as many aspects of fluid mechanics, like turbulence and wave dynamics. Over the years he was involved in teaching and knowledge transfer by giving courses and lectures, by guiding MSc and PhD students, and by publishing regularly. He has been involved in consulting and research work involving the development and application of the latest design practices. He evaluated, and made designs for, many Dutch coastal structures (e.g. Maasvlakte 2, IJmuiden, Eemshaven, Afsluitdijk), as well as many structures abroad. The main tool he applied for this advisory work is physical modelling, which he also developed further. He contributed to manuals like the Rock Manual and EurOtop manual. Moreover, he was involved in the design of modelling facilities (including the Delta Flume), and the development of measurement techniques.
