Emilie Herpain is a MRes + PhD candidate at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training inFuture Infrastructure and Built Environment, where her research focuses on flood phenomena in urban environments. Specifically, she is investigating how rewilding can mitigate run-off phenomena. Her project is supervised by Dongfang Liang.
Before joining FIBE3, she studied Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Warwick. Then, she decided to delve more into mathematics while continuing to explore philosophy in her personal reading. This led her to start an MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing at the University of Oxford.
Emilie's past projects include modeling the movement of the grounding line on an Antarctic ice-sheet using the Navier-Stokes equations, and predicting the bathymetry of a patch of water using the Shallow Water Equations together with an Ensemble Kalman Filter framework. After completing her Master's degree, she gained experience at Deloitte, where she worked as a consultant.
