As a coastal engineering researcher, keen free-diver, surfer and open water swimmer, he is passionate about exploring how to sustainably rehabilitate coral reefs and ecosystems that have been damaged by extreme climactic events. His research uses 3D printing technology to re-create coral structures which are then fitted with sensors for testing wave resilience. Over the last 6 months Justin has been experimenting in the LIT wave flume with global company Mars and local company Subcon to better understand the stability and hydrodynamic performance of their different coral reef restoration techniques as nature-based solutions to coastal protection.
