Her work involves experimental and computational modeling of breaking bores, positive surges, and tidal bore hydrodynamics, with applications to fish-friendly culvert design, sediment transport, and hydraulic structure optimization. She has developed novel guidelines for low-velocity zones in box culverts to assist upstream fish passage, emphasizing cost-effective and ecohydraulic solutions.
Recent publications highlight her expertise in unsteady turbulence, air-water interaction in breaking waves, and secondary current analysis in asymmetrical channels. Her research combines laboratory experiments, field observations, and CFD simulations to address challenges in coastal engineering and environmental management.
Collaborations with Prof. Hubert Chanson demonstrate her integration into leading research groups, though no specific awards, students, or grants are mentioned in the provided data. Further details about education or future projects remain unspecified.
