Felipe Espinoza successfully defended his MS thesis in Ocean Engineering today!

His research brought together numerical modeling and lab data analysis to study wave attenuation by mangroves — great work on a challenging topic!

Well done, Felipe! 👏 🌊

Big thanks to the committee and faculty for their support:
