Dr Quan Quan Le

PhD (University of Hull)

  • Research Associate in Delta Flood Risk

Quan is a Research Associate in Geoscience within the Department of Geography and Environment, specializing in the dynamics of large delta systems and their responses to environmental and anthropogenic changes.

He earned his PhD at the University of Hull, where his research centered on The Effects of Anthropogenic Disturbances on the Evolution of a Mega-Delta. During his doctoral studies, Quan contributed to several research projects, including investigating the impacts of the surge in sand mining activities during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Mekong Delta and assessing the risks of compound flooding in coastal Vietnam. These projects provided critical insights into the vulnerability of delta systems to human interventions and climate-related hazards.

Before pursuing his PhD, Quan completed a Master of Science by Research, also at the University of Hull. His thesis explored the Bifurcation Stability of a Mega-Delta under Future Anthropogenic Impacts, Climate Change, and Sea-Level Rise. This work laid the foundation for his current focus on the complex interplay between natural processes and human activities in shaping the evolution of delta systems.

Quan’s expertise combines advanced numerical modeling, fieldwork, and interdisciplinary approaches to address pressing environmental challenges in vulnerable delta regions.
