Thomas Becker
About
Pursuing a PhD degree in Marine Civil Engineering at NTNU under the supervision of Professor Hans Bihs within the ERC Consolidator PARTRES project.
Research interests: modeling of wave mechanics, of coastal processes and fluid-structure interactions.
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (TU Berlin, 2022). Dual master's degree in Ocean Engineering (University of Rhode Island, 2023) and Civil Engineering (TU Braunschweig, 2024).
Work experience in project management and construction management.
