Marine and Coastal Engineering

Dr. Deborah Villarroel-Lamb specializes in the numerical modelling of coastal engineering processes, including ocean hydrodynamics, coastal morphology, coastal structural response and impact. She has developed specialized numerical models to investigate the physical processes that occur along a coastline, such as wave transformation, wave breaking, undertow currents, energy dissipation and sediment transport. Dr. Villarroel-Lamb has also gained experience in the assessment and design of coastal structures. She is also adept at using a number of commercially available numerical tools to support these various types of analyses.
