Sofia MG Rocha

PhD researcher · Lancaster University · company speakers →

Sofia is a PhD researcher studying the impacts of floating solar panels on water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs. More particularly, her project utilises the Delft3D hydrodynamic and water quality model to assess these impacts. Previously, she applied the same model to understand a reservoir's spatial distribution of evaporation as part of her MSc degree. Before starting the PhD, she worked for several years as a Civil Engineer in the industry, specialising in the design of drainage systems, raw and treated water pipelines, sewage and water distribution systems, as well as dam recovery projects and security inspections. In addition to her technical expertise, she led teams responsible for overseeing the execution of these projects, ensuring efficiency, quality, and compliance with industry standards. Her research interests include lake modelling, hydrodynamics, hydrology, climate change, and water resources management.
