About Lynyrd de Wit

Lynyrd is dedicated to enlarging our understanding of the complex interactions between turbulent flow and sediment by model development and experiments. His projects focus on dredging plumes, improving dredging processes and predicting scour to make developments like offshore wind and port and waterway dredging possible. This is necessary for future proof infrastructure and the energy transition.

He finished a part-time PhD study on dredge plumes cum laude in less manhours compared to a full-time PhD track. He is focussed on delivering usable results and is down to earth . In addition to his work at Deltares, Lynyrd de Wit serves on the board of CEDA-NL
