Andrea joined the Civil
& Environmental Engineering Deptarment at UC Davis as Ph. D
student in September 2004. She did her undergraduate work at Universidad de Chile, Chile and received her
BS in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in environment and hydraulic
in 2000. She worked for three years at an engineering consulting firm,
JRI, that specialized in hydraulic transport of minning material.
Andrea went back to school at The Johns Hopkins
University, MD to obtain her ME (2004) .
Currently, Andrea's
research area is focused on
the area of
theoretical and computational fluid mechanics with applications to
sediment transport. Her research focuses on the prediction of bedload
and suspended sediment transport through numerical methods,
based in the multiphase flow theory.
