About Elias de Korte
Elias de Korte is an oceanographer with expertise in ocean waves, coastal morphodynamics and data assimilation. He obtained a MSc. Earth Surface and Water with a specialization in coastal dynamics and fluvial systems from Utrecht University. During his internship at CNRS in Bordeaux he worked on Bayesian networks to model surf zone injuries (e.g. drownings caused by rip currents). Currently he has a PhD position at Delft University of Technology focussed on wave data assimilation. This research is centred around leveraging both model physics and satellite measurements to improve wave model forecasts and hindcasts.
As researcher for Deltares Elias contributed to various projects involving phase-averaged wave modelling for the North Sea, including ensemble modelling, data assimilation and machine learning techniques and satellite and wave buoy measurement analysis.
Elias is PhD candidate at TU Delft.
