Marcus Nobrega Gomes Jr

I am a hydrologist focused on process understanding via numerical modeling to predict natural hazards impacts resulting of floods, droughts, and wildfires. My postdoctoral research at Stanford aims to cross-correlate high-resolution flood maps derived from fluid dynamical models with extensive medical records and evaluate whether a causal relation exists. My research interests are wide and vary from hillslope hydrology, hydrodynamics, pollutant transport and fate, remote sensing, data assimilation, green infrastructure, control of cyber-physical systems, dynamical systems, climate change impacts, and numerical model development for high performance computing. I have a background in civil and environmental engineering, with graduate studies in hydrology and hydrodynamics/hydraulics.
