Ingrid Tomac I am an Associate Professor of geomechanics and geotechnical engineering at the Department of Structural Engineering, University of California San Diego. My research interests revolve around soil and rock mechanics, energy geotechnics, and hazards such as are devastating post-wildfire mudflows. I wish to dedicate my research efforts toward creating a better world through the exploration and development of civil engineering infrastructure for supporting renewable and sustainable energy resources. |

Lucia Landaverde Robles I am an M.S. student in the Structural Engineering department at UCSD, with an emphasis in Geotechnical Engineering. I finished my B.S. in Civil Engineering at Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. My interest in geotechnics and geomechanics align with Dr. Ingrid Tomac's research in the study of the behaviour of post wildfire debris flows |

Brian Yamashiro https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8105-7724 Brian Yamashiro graduated in 2021 with Ph.D. in the Department of Structural Engineering at University of California, San Diego. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Iowa State University and Master of Science in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on Geotechnical Engineering from California State University, Fullerton. His research is focused on particle-fluid, two-phase flow behavior relating to use in fractured rock systems. Prior to pursuing his Ph.D., he worked for more than eight years in the civil and construction industry. |

Wenpei Ma https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6397-529X I am a Ph.D Student within Professor Tomac's research group in the Department of Structural Engineering at University of California - San Diego. I obtained my B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering from University of Wisconsin - Madison. During my M.S. study at UCSD, I worked with Professor Tomac on proppant transport behavior in fractures. I am currently working on properties and behaviors of postfire mudflow as my doctoral research. |
