Biography  

Luc Anh Tuan (Vietnam) is a hydrologist with expertise in river basin management, sediment dynamics, and sustainable water resources development. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Hydrology from Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Resources and Environment in 2020 and a Master of Science in River Management/WTE from Vietnamese-German University and Technische Universität Darmstadt in 2024. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Kyoto University, where his research focuses on river re-naturalization through river widening, sediment replenishment, and sediment trapping using nature-based structures such as Seigyu.
His research interests include hydrology, sediment transport, river engineering, climate change adaptation, and sustainable river management. He employs a combination of hydrological and hydraulic modeling (MIKE-DHI, HEC-RAS, SWATplus, MODFLOW, WEAP, SWMM), geospatial analysis using GIS platforms (ArcGIS, QGIS), and hydrographic surveys (MBES, ADCP) to analyze water flow, sediment transport, and river morphological dynamics. He also integrates statistical and computational methods to improve model accuracy and support evidence-based decision-making in river management.
Through his research, Tuan aims to advance nature-based solutions for river restoration, enhance the resilience of riverine and deltaic systems, and contribute to sustainable development, climate adaptation, and long-term management of river systems.
