Short biography: Florian van der Stap is a recently graduated offshore engineer from the TU Delft currently employed at Wood Thilsted. Throughout his studies Florian had a strong focus on offshore wind as well as arctic (offshore) engineering. This came together in his MSc thesis conducted at Wood Thilsted in close cooperation with the TU Delft, in which the impact of sea ice on monopiles was investigated via the coupling of the numerical VANILLA ice model to aero-elastic simulation software (HAWC2). Besides his work Florian enjoys a wide variety of sports, including but not limited to crossfit, squash & running.
