Summary
Hans Bihs is a coastal and hydraulic engineering leader with a decade-long career bridging academic research and applied consulting, now founding and leading REEF Consulting AS while serving as Professor of Marine Civil Engineering at NTNU. He specializes in computational marine hydrodynamics and is the developer behind the open-source REEF3D hydrodynamics framework, with research spanning wave modeling, offshore wind, aquaculture structures, wave energy, and sediment transport. His PhD in CFD and extensive NTNU/SINTEF experience ground a rare combination of deep numerical modeling expertise and practical coastal engineering delivery. Based in Trondheim, he translates complex fluid-dynamics research into tools and solutions used for coastal infrastructure and marine renewable projects, often focusing on realistic, high-fidelity simulation of local scour and wave-structure interactions.
