Major contributor to the Zuiderzee Works and Delta Works Establishment of the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education De Eieren van Thijsse(Thijsse's eggs)
Johannes Theodoor Thijsse (11 April 1893 – 30 April 1984) was a Dutch hydraulic engineer who made significant contributions to hydraulic engineering both in The Netherlands and internationally. In addition to having a major involvement in the design and planning of both the Zuiderzee Works and the Delta Works, he published widely and played a key role in the establishment of the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.
He served as the first director of the Waterloopkundig Laboratorium (Delft Hydraulic Research Laboratory), a position he held from 1927 until 1960. Under Thijsse's leadership, the laboratory became a leading international centre for hydraulic, river and coastal engineering research. The laboratory came to be officially known by its English name, Delft Hydraulics, and continues today as a major research institute and the cornerstone of the international nonprofit knowledge institute for water and the subsurface, Deltares.[1]
