Job Description

This research aims to improve how to design coastal structures in Singapore by developing locally relevant guidelines for wave overtopping. The research focus on the landward (rear side) impacts caused by wave overtopping behind coastal protection measures (CPMs)—for example, erosion and instability that can compromise the CPM’s structural integrity and public safety.

The selected research staff will be required to work in a multi-disciplinary team on the engineering analysis and design of the coastal structures under overtopping loading actions, support coastal planners, engineers, and policymakers in making informed decisions for a safer and more economically sustainable coastal defences in Singapore.
