Dr. Michelle Ho has over 15 years of experience in water engineering and hydrology. Her work has focused on water management and planning using statistical methods to quantify hydrologic and climate variability. Her work has incorporated information from historical records, paleoclimate records, and climate projections.
Michelle obtained her PhD from the University of Newcastle, Australia in 2014. She conducted her postdoctoral research at Columbia University’s Columbia Water Center in New York and continued her research at CSIRO in Canberra. Her later work at The University of Melbourne involved research that contributed to the update to the Australian Rainfall and Runoff guidelines on climate change considerations in flood estimation, which she also co-authored.
Michelle has implemented Monte-Carlo simulation for assessing flood hydrology under historic conditions and future scenarios, which is at the forefront of industry best practice.
Michelle has been a lead author on over a dozen papers published in international peer reviewed journals, co-authored an additional 11 papers, and led or co-authored over 20 conference papers.
