Ashley is hydrotechnical engineer specializing in sediment transport, river hydraulics, and scour assessment, with a focus on delivering practical solutions for large river systems. She combines rigorous academic training with hands-on experience, using both physical and numerical models to understand hydraulics and sediment interactions, and has an extensive portfolio of published research.
Since joining NHC after completing her Doctorate, Ashley has applied her expertise to tackle complex engineering challenges. Her work includes developing and testing models to analyze river hydraulics, sediment transport, and erosion-deposition patterns to inform design and decision-making. She has contributed to projects in scour protection assessment and design, geomorphic analysis for channel stability, river rehabilitation, and mitigation of sedimentation in run-of-river hydroelectric projects.
