My Profile

About

Originally from Costa Rica, where I graduated as a Civil Engineer in 2012. In 2013, I moved to Australia to start a doctoral degree at the University of Newcastle, where I obtained a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering in 2018. The focus of my research is the development of eco-hydrological and eco-geomorphological models of coastal and freshwater wetland vegetation and to explore vegetation dynamics under scenarios of climate change. My work integrates the use of hydrodynamic flood modelling and the study of vegetation dynamics. Currently, I work as a lecturer in civil and environmental engineering at Deakin University, Australia.
