Olivia Hoang, PhD
Olivia interned with Silvestrum from September 2018 thru December 2019 while completing her doctoral degree at the University of California, Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering with Professor Mark Stacey. Her doctoral research focused on the hydrodynamics of South San Francisco Bay, including the tidal patterns of stratification and the physical mechanisms that create and destroy stratification. At Silvestrum, she supported the Extreme Precipitation Study working closely with Kris May and Mike Mak. She put her advanced Python knowledge to work analyzing regional climate model data produced by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model. After graduating in December 2019, Olivia accepted a position as an Assistant Professor with the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at San Jose State University.
