报告人简介：
María Maza is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cantabria (UC) and a researcher at the Institute of Environmental Hydraulics of Cantabria (IHCantabria) where she leads the Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Defense team. María is a Civil Engineer (2010), she obtained her master's degree in Port and Coastal Engineering in 2012 and her doctorate in 2015 from the University of Cantabria, for which she received the Extraordinary Doctorate Award from the UC. Later, she did a post-doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (CEE). Her research focuses on unraveling the fundamentals and modeling the flow-ecosystem interaction, with the aim of obtaining new tools from basic science and thus promoting the use of so-called Nature-Based Solutions, as coastal protection measures. Based on field and laboratory observations, and on numerical modeling, her work combines complex hydrodynamics with the biophysics of coastal ecosystems, developing new formulations and tools that allow quantifying the coastal protection service provided by these new solutions.
