Patricia Mares Nasarre

Patricia Mares Nasarre serves as Assistant Professor in Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk within Delft University of Technology's Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, specializing in coastal engineering and flood protection systems.

Her academic foundation includes:

• PhD in Civil Engineering from Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain)

Dr. Mares Nasarre's research integrates advanced probabilistic modeling with coastal infrastructure resilience, focusing on wave-structure interactions, mound breakwater performance, and multivariate uncertainty in wind-wave dynamics. Her work addresses critical challenges in flood risk management and climate adaptation through physical modeling and computational analysis, with significant applications for coral reef-protected coastlines and aging hydraulic structures.

Analysis of her 2025 publications reveals a strategic shift toward AI-enhanced risk assessment (using active learning for compound floods) and Bayesian network applications for ship-induced wave prediction, while maintaining core expertise in breakwater hydrodynamics. This dual focus bridges traditional coastal engineering with data-driven methodologies to improve lifecycle reliability predictions.

No specific scientific awards are documented in the provided materials.

Her professional trajectory combines academic instruction in probability theory with hands-on laboratory coordination for coastal flood protection studies and private-sector experience in structural reliability assessment. Current teaching responsibilities include advanced courses on dependence modeling and uncertainty analysis within TU Delft's engineering curriculum.
