The DHI-NTU Centre encompass nowadays around 100 permanent staff. We continuously draw from our pool of specialists to provide quality trainings and build bridges between research advances and practical applications. The expertise of some of our key staff is presented below.

	Tom Foster (Managing Director / Regional Manager of DHI Singapore), river and coastal engineer, MSc, has been employed at DHI since 1989 and has worked in SE Asia since 1997, presently serving as DHI's Regional Manager. Comprehensive multi-disciplinary experience covering integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) and integrated impact assessment (currents, navigation, morphology, water quality and ecology), monitoring and environmental management of large coastal development projects such as reclamation and dredging; ports development, and coastal conservation. Teaching experience from many postgraduate training courses.
	Anders Malmgren-Hansen joined DHI in 1997 after 19 years with the Danish Water Quality Institute. Throughout his career, he has worked with aquatic environmental studies, including baseline studies, impact assessment (EIA) studies, and environmental optimization studies of coastal and inland surface waters, as well as related capacity-building. As head of Ecological Modelling Centre he was in charge of development and pilot implementation of DHI's suite of cutting-edge environmental decision-support tools. He has practical experience from Europe, Africa and Asia.
	Stéphanie Doorn-Groen, BSc Civil Engineering and MSc Civil Engineering Management and Geotechnology, has been involved in coastal and marine projects and environmental studies undertaken by construction companies, dredging companies and government agencies. She has a particular experience from Environmental Monitoring and Management Plans for dredging and reclamation activities in tropical and sub-tropical areas, particularly those relating to impacts on the ecological health of corals, seagrass and aquaculture.
	Clint Marsillius Tiwol, marine surveyor, educated as a marine biologist (MSc) and as a certified professional diver, employed at DHI since 1999, the first 5 years at DHI Malaysia, presently serving as head of Field Monitoring Services. Experience from surveys in Abu Dhabi, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia of flow, sediments, water quality and ecology, using a variety of positioning, measurement and sampling technologies, including vessel-mounted and detached real-time and self-recording instruments, and real-time data transmission. Teaching experience from Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
	Tan Soon Keat (co-director of DHI-NTU Centre), joined Nanyang Technological Institute in 1984 and is instrumental in the development of the hydraulics, hydrology, coastal and wind tunnel laboratories. He is Director, Maritime Research Centre since its inception in 2001. Dr Tan’s research interests include application of geographical information system in water resources, numerical simulation of flow for hydraulics and coastal engineering applications. Beside technical papers, conference presentations and workshops, Dr Tan also provides consultancy services in areas including surge analysis, drainage and hydraulic design, physical and numerical modelling of hydraulic and coastal processes.
	Darren Sun is an Associate Professor of the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering of the Nanyang Technological University. Dr. Sun has edited or co-edited a few conference proceedings, journals and authored or co-authored more than 100 scientific publications. He has been invited to conduct short courses and public seminars in various countries including Australia, Canada, China, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, France, Singapore, Taiwan, UAE, and USA etc. His current research interests focus on water treatment and reclamation using membrane technologies. and converting hazardous and industrial wastes into value-added products.
	Nian-Sheng Cheng is specialized in hydraulics and sediment transport. He was educated as a hydraulic engineer (MSc, PhD), and is currently working as an associate professor in School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at NTU. His previous appointments includes research engineer at Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, China, for seven years and post-doctorial fellow at Technical University of Denmark for one year. He has conducted many research and practical projects in the areas of hydraulic, river and coastal engineering, sediment transport, and turbulence. Courses conducted at undergraduate and graduate levels consist of mechanics of sediment transport, mathematics, hydrodynamics and numerical methods.
	Ole Larsen (co-director of DHI-NTU Centre) MSc from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (Denmark) and PhD from Technical University of Denmark, with a theoretical background covering geochemistry, hydrology and hydraulics. Practical experience from more than 40 development and consultancy projects within water management and hydraulic engineering, as well as related information technology and decision-support.
	Matthew James Jury, EIA specialist, is educated as a marine biologist (BSc) and has been employed at DHI since 2004 following a career with consulting engineering companies in Australia. As head of DHI's Marine and Terrestrial Biology Department, he is involved in field surveys of sea grass meadows and corals, EIA studies, and environmental management and monitoring planning for coastal and offshore development projects.
