Natividad Calvo Ruibal

Natividad Calvo Ruibal is a researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics II at the School of Industrial Engineering, University of Vigo. She holds a doctorate from the University of Vigo (1999) for her work on Analysis and numerical resolution of some mathematical models of the free boundary in glaciology, supervised by Dr. José Durany Castrillo and Dr. Carlos Vazquez.

Her research focuses on Geophysics, Numerical Analysis, and Fluid Mechanics, with particular emphasis on ice sheet dynamics, thermomechanical coupling, and free boundary problems. She has contributed to the development of GLANUSIT, a software toolbox for simulating large ice masses.
