Martijn Bregman has more than seven years of continuous experience in numerical modeling of hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and morphology in coastal and riverine systems. He has contributed to numerous studies evaluating coastal protection and restoration projects, environmental impacts, and resilience initiatives. His work includes research on landscape evolution, sediment management, flood risk and impacts, and environmental dynamics. Bregman developed and automated several cross-disciplinary and probabilistic modeling frameworks, involving extensive series of simulations within high-performance computing environments. He is a subject matter expert in the Delft3D 4 (structured grid), Delft3D FM (unstructured grid), and SFINCS modeling suites. Additionally, he is proficient in several other modeling software packages, including HEC-RAS.
