Christine Lynggard Hansen
Christine’s pathway into coastal engineering has been shaped by a strong interest in ocean processes and how structures interact with waves under complex and extreme conditions. With an academic background spanning mechanical engineering, wind energy, and ocean engineering, her work has been driven by an urge to understand the physics behind ocean waves and their interactions with offshore structures.
Her doctoral research focused on wave mechanics and the response of floating structures in severe sea states. She combined physical experiments in both laboratory and the field with and advanced data analysis to identify wave sequences driving extreme structure responses.
Christine brings this experience into coastal engineering practice through data-driven analysis and modelling of metocean and coastal conditions, to support the understanding, planning, and management of coastal and marine environments.
