Menno Genseberger
Menno Genseberger studied mathematics and physics at the University of Amsterdam. PhD research at Utrecht University and CWI was on domain decomposition to enable HPC for large scale eigenvalue problems from plasma physics and oceanography.
He joined Deltares in 2002. First by developing simulation software for surface water. He gave also lead to a discipline numerical methods. Later focus shifted to coupled hydrodynamical and transport modelling for lakes. In 2010 he initiated a pilot on HPC for Deltares at SURF. The years that followed this resulted in several European projects in which Deltares and SURF collaborated on HPC for simulation software of surface water.

Importance of Simulation of Surface Water Systems
Forecasting of flooding, morphology and water quality in coastal and estuarine areas, rivers, and lakes is of great importance for society. To tackle this, the Delft3D Flexible Mesh Suite (Delft3D FM) has been developed by Deltares. Delft3D FM is used worldwide and consists of modules for modelling hydrodynamics, waves, morphology, water quality, and ecology.
