Felipe De Barros is an Associate Professor in the Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at USC. He earned his PhD in 2009 from the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Prior to this, he obtained his Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. His research expertise lies in stochastic groundwater hydrology and environmental fluid mechanics. He focuses on developing task-driven, application-oriented integrated models for simulating and predicting large scale hydrogeological systems, particularly emphasizing the capture of uncertainties to create predictions that are both computationally efficient and theoretically sound. His research interests encompass flow and transport in heterogeneous aquifers, uncertainty quantification, probabilistic risk analysis, and the development of hybrid numerical and analytical methods. He also serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Hydrology and the Hydrological Sciences Journal.
