Mara Ruf

Mara Ruf is a Scientific Employee at the Engineering Risk Analysis Group of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), specializing in probabilistic risk assessment and flood protection strategies. She holds an M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering from TUM (2019-2022) and a B.Sc. in Engineering Science from the same institution (2015-2019). Her research focuses on cost-benefit analysis of flood polders, dynamic probabilistic flood risk modeling, and uncertainty quantification in environmental systems.

• Education: M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering (TUM), B.Sc. in Engineering Science (TUM)
• Research Areas: Flood Risk Management, Uncertainty Quantification, Probabilistic Risk Assessment
• Teaching: SS24/SS25 and SS23 as Teaching Assistant for "Risk Assessment and Reliability of Engineering Systems"; WS23/24 and WS22/23 as Teaching Assistant for "Stochastik und Risiko"

Her work bridges engineering decision-making with environmental hazards, emphasizing quantitative methods. She has supervised multiple student projects on flood scenario generation, dike failure analysis, and GIS-based flood modeling. Current research includes digital twin applications for ships and infrastructure resilience in projects like BIG-ROHU and INFRA.RELEARN.
