Welcome to the wonderful world of nonlinear Fourier transform for water waves!
Short bio
I received a Diploma degree in civil engineering with specialization in coastal engineering from TU Braunschweig, and a Doctorate in civil engineering (summa cum laude, again in the field of coastal engineering) from the same university in 2014. I'm currently working as postdoc in the department Delft Center for Systems and Control (DCSC) in the Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3mE) at Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands.
My research is about the identificiation and description of underlying nonlinear processes in propagating free-surfaces waves. By application of a nonlinear Fourier transform (NLFT) based on the solution of the Korteweg-deVries equation, as implemented within my doctoral thesis, I reveal the hidden underlying spectral components in nonlinear free-surface waves. This provides completely new insight into the nonlinear processes in wave propagation.
After finishing the Doctorate, I worked as researcher at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics, TU Braunschweig, Germany, the Forschungszentrum Küste (Coastal Research Center, FZK), Hannover, Germany, and the Division of Hydromechanics, Coastal and Ocean Engineering at Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, TU Braunschweig. Since May 1st, 2019, I continue my research of nonlinear Fourier transform as postdoc within the work group of Sander Wahls at DCSC. Within this position, I will further evaluate the applicability of the NLFT to different problems in coastal and ocean engineering. Any suggestions for possible applications of the method are welcome!
