Dr Marzieh H. Derkani is a Research Fellow at an Australian Research Council (ARC) Research Hub for Transforming Energy Infrastructure through Digital Engineering (TIDE) at School of Earth and Oceans, The University of Western Australia (UWA). Her research at UWA is focused on improving wave forecasts using data science techniques e.g., data assimilation.
She holds a PhD in Ocean Engineering and Physical Oceanography from The University of Melbourne as well as a MSc in Coastal Engineering and a BSc in Civil Engineering. Further to her academic pursuits, Dr Derkani has gained professional experiences in the industry over multiples years working as a Civil and Coastal Engineer in Australia and overseas. She is currently a professional member of Engineers Australia holding a National Engineering Register.
Dr Derkani's research at UWA is concerned with broad scale wave forecasts with a focus on swell waves and aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of wave forecasts using data assimilation methods. Data assimilation involves integrating observational data with numerical model estimations to enhance predictions. Taking advantage of recent advancements in the availability and accessibility of spectral wave observations, her project will integrate spectral wave measurements into numerical wave models to enhance forecasting accuracy. In her research, Dr Derkani is working in close collaboration with local and international partners within academia, industry and government (see TIDE Research Hub's partner organisations).
