Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBas Hoonhout is a Manager Datalab with 16 years of experience at the intersection of coastal engineering and data engineering, currently leading data-driven innovation at Van Oord in Rotterdam. He combines deep domain expertise in coastal, hydraulic and aeolian sediment transport—underpinned by a PhD from TU Delft—with hands-on data engineering practice developed through roles from specialist to manager. His work spans dune and coastal defense modelling (including XBeach and supply-limited aeolian transport) and translating research-grade models into operational data solutions for industry projects. Known for bridging rigorous research and practical engineering, he has a track record of turning complex coastal processes into actionable analytics and predictive tools. An early developer with a background in web and extension development, he brings uncommon fluency in both scientific modelling and software implementation.
