Ana Rueda

Biography

I am a Civil Engineer from 'Universidad de Granada' (2010) with a master in Coastal Management (2013), and PhD on Science and Technologies for Costal Management, with Cum Laude and International mention (2016) by 'Universidad de Cantabria' and Juan de la Cierva Research Associate nowadays. I have focused on understanding the wave and water levels behavior approaching the coast, and how climate variability affects and conditions the probabilities of experiencing extreme coastal flooding or erosion events. During my PhD, I developed statistical models to incorporate climate variability on the multivariate extreme value analysis, and during my post-doctorate I had the opportunity to apply and improve those models in different research projects around the world.
