معرفی
Claudia Brauer is a Lecturer at Wageningen University & Research's Department of Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics, within the Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, and machine learning applications in environmental systems. She has contributed to projects in Thailand, the Netherlands, and Italy, emphasizing operational hydrological systems and catchment dynamics.
Education: She holds a PhD from Wageningen University (2014) under Prof. R. Uijlenhoet and Dr. R. Teuling, focusing on parametric models for hydrological processes in catchments. Earlier degrees include a MSc and BSc in Civil Engineering (ir. title).
Research interests span radar rainfall nowcasting, reservoir operation optimization, salt intrusion modeling in estuaries, and open-source hydrological tool development. She has co-developed the Wageningen Lowland Runoff Simulator (WALRUS) and contributed to the pysteps library for rainfall nowcasting.
Recent work includes machine learning applications for real-time reservoir management in Thailand and LSTM-based salt intrusion forecasts in the Rhine-Meuse delta. She has supervised 4 PhD candidates, including ongoing projects on flood forecasting in Thailand and salt intrusion dynamics.
Her research has led to over 50 publications in journals like Journal of Hydroinformatics and Hydrology and Earth System Sciences. She actively participates in international conferences and collaborates with institutions in Thailand, Italy, and across Europe.
