About Zeta Tam

As an advisor in coastal and offshore hydrodynamics and morphodynamics at Deltares, Zeta helps shape a safer and more sustainable future by using numerical models. Specialising in numerical modelling, he identifies how changing coastal and seabed morphology impacts infrastructure and people, and helps design resilient coastal development.

His work contributes towards "Enabling Delta Life" in:

• resilient coastal and offshore infrastructure
• coastal hazard identification and mitigation

He brings strong analytical thinking and a passion for learning to every project. His ability to adapt keeps him ahead in fast-moving technological development. Taking part in the software development of D-Morphology module, he helps improve and enhance the user experience in modelling sediment transport in Delft3D FM model.

Key success:
Identifying and mitigating beachgoers' risks: He built up a Delft3D model simulating currents at a popular beach in Egypt and identified risks to beachgoers. Later he collaborated with clients and developed solutions to reduce those risks.

Additionally, with his chartership in civil engineering in the UK and previous field experience, he bridges engineering and environmental science. His dual perspective allows him to speak both technical and practical languages and help clients build coastal systems in a feasible and practical way.
