At the 1st of October 2018, Thieu Stevens (MSc.) joined the team of engineering experts of CDR International. After obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at the Avans University of Applied Sciences in Den Bosch, Thieu obtained his Master’s degree in Hydraulic Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. During his education, Thieu paid special attention to the design of (hydraulic) structures. He made the preliminary and detailed design for a small tunnel underneath the railway system near Assen, to obtain the Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.
Thieu obtained his Master’s degree by developing a formula to predict the stability of stones in a bed protection based on the output of a Detached Eddy Simulation; including the effects of turbulence was the main challenge of his thesis, which was conducted at Deltares. In between, Thieu already gained some international experience during a multidisciplinary project about coastal protection by mangroves in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.
CDR wishes Thieu all the best at the start of his career.
