Senior🎓
Top SchoolOlivier Gourgue is a marine ecosystem modeler with a decade of experience applying numerical modelling to coastal wetlands, climate adaptation and nature-based engineering solutions. He holds a PhD in Engineering Science from Université catholique de Louvain and has combined academic postdoctoral roles with applied research positions across Belgian universities, a Dutch water engineering lab, and a visiting scholar stint at Boston University. Now at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, he develops and implements advanced models that bridge process-based science and practical adaptation strategies for coastal systems. Olivier’s work is notable for integrating mechanical-engineering rigor from his early training with ecological and climate resilience objectives, enabling transferable tools for both researchers and practitioners. He is Brussels-based and brings a track record of collaborative international research that informs policy-relevant, nature-based solutions.
