Biography

Ana Vila Concejo is a Professor at the University of Sydney specializing in morphodynamics and coastal systems. She began her academic career in Spain, earning her MSc from the University of Vigo and completing her PhD at the University of Algarve, focusing on tidal inlets. Since moving to Australia, she has researched morphodynamics, particularly concerning flood-tide deltas and reef platforms, and has led various projects funded by the Australian Research Council. With a strong emphasis on understanding contemporary processes affecting coastal systems, her current research interests include the morphodynamics of coral reefs, beaches, and estuaries, especially in the context of climate change and environmental sustainability. She has collaborated internationally with research partners in countries such as California, New Zealand, Spain, and Brazil and is actively engaged in teaching and mentoring research students in coastal management and related disciplines.
