2016 - Conrad Wasko
Project description
2013 – 2016
Conrad completed an exceptional PhD supervised by Ashish leading to many notable papers and lots of media attention - presenting the first clear proof of changes to design floods resulting from global warming.
The papers that came out of his PhD were:
