Cláudia Reis is an Assistant Professor at Lehigh University with a joint appointment in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the Institute for Cyber-Physical Infrastructure and Energy (I-CPIE) within the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. She teaches courses in Coastal and Offshore Infrastructure Engineering, Structural Analysis I, and Finite Element Method in Structural Engineering. Her research focuses on fluids-solids interaction in coastal and offshore engineering, multi-risk management, and multi-scale/multi-physics modeling of critical infrastructure in multi-hazard regions. Dr. Reis leads the NHERI Lehigh Experimental Facility as a Co-Principal Investigator and chairs the Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) Engineering Research Center. She has secured grants including a PITA Grant ('Resiliency of Coastal Infrastructure') and a PEER Transportation Systems Research Program project ('Cascading Seismic and Tsunami Loads for the Design of Open Wharves').
Her work integrates computational methods like smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and finite volume techniques to address tsunami and earthquake impacts. She contributes to national/international committees such as NHERI and FIB, and serves on editorial boards and grant review panels. Dr. Reis' research emphasizes infrastructure resilience, cascading hazards, and exascale computing applications for natural hazard mitigation.
