Top SchoolBert Jagers is a senior advisor and researcher with 11+ years at Deltares and a long career building numerical simulation models for coastal, estuarine, riverine and urban environments. With a PhD in Civil Engineering and dual MSc degrees in Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics, he specializes in sediment transport and morphology coupled to currents, waves, winds and biochemistry. He leads and contributes to open, production-grade modeling tools (Delft3D, SOBEK and flexible-mesh integrations) used for research, consultancy and operational digital twins worldwide. Bert combines rigorous physics-based modeling with pragmatic attention to scale and uncertainty, routinely bringing local expertise and interdisciplinary partners into projects. Based in the Netherlands but working globally (currently living in Cairo), he bridges academic insight and applied software development to turn complex environmental questions into actionable assessments. An understated strength is his long-term stewardship of community tools and standards that enable reproducible, collaborative environmental modeling.
