Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiorgio Santinelli is a civil engineer and scientific researcher with 11 years of applied research experience in coastal oceanography, geotechnical and structural engineering, and physics-based numerical modeling. Currently a PhD candidate at Ghent University, he combines deep domain expertise with practical skills in geospatial data, remote sensing, data science and back-end development to translate complex environmental problems into reproducible models and tools. His decade at Deltares progressed from junior researcher to senior advisor, where he led work at the intersection of marine systems, data science and water quality. Comfortable with 2D/3D modelling and visualization, Giorgio bridges field-focused engineering (soil consolidation, micropile design) and advanced computational approaches. Colleagues know him for integrating rigorous academic methods with production-ready workflows that support decision-making in coastal management. Based in Ixelles, Belgium, he brings a pragmatic, multidisciplinary perspective shaped by both construction-site experience and high‑impact research.
