Jens Figlus, Ph.D.

Jens Figlus, Ph.D. is a coastal engineering expert specializing in applied coastal research and engineering. With a career spanning hydraulic engineering, environmental fluid mechanics, and process-based numerical modeling, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective to his litigation work. His work centers on investigating sediment transport dynamics, assessing coastal protection measures, and evaluating environmental fluid interactions.

Dr. Figlus has been retained in numerous expert witness and consulting engagements across the United States, involving coastal erosion, sedimentation, and hydrodynamic disputes. His Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a Coastal Engineering Major, along with his Dipl.-Ing. in Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Engineering, reinforce his ability to deliver objective, defensible analyses. He is regularly engaged by both plaintiff and defense counsel to provide clear, independent determinations of causation in disputes involving coastal processes and engineering interventions.
