Biography

My research interests relate to Flood Management. This includes Natural Flood Management and Nature Based Solutions in river catchments and urban cities. I also do research on flood forecasting and natural capital. I use a wide range of methods ranging from field based monitoring and experimentation to laboratory based testing and numerical modelling.
