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 and estimate uncertainty incorporating 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 and more recently at The University of Melbourne where she co-authored the update to the Australian Rainfall and Runoff guidelines on climate change considerations in flood estimation.
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 lead or co-authored over 20 conference papers.
