Dr Dana Tothova
- Researcher
- University of New South Wales
Dana is a postdoc leading Project Halophyte’s efforts to design, test, and improve Mangrove-Integrated Coastal Infrastructure (MICI) — multifunctional floating or fixed systems that help mangroves thrive while mitigating wind and boat wake waves, enhancing biodiversity, purifying water and air, attracting tourism, and serving as effective educational tools.
Passionate about water and waves, Dana has is excited about conducting both physical and numerical flume experiments and developing 3D designs. Her love for water also extends to hobbies – rowing, paddling, and surfing. Before focusing on mangroves, coastal structures, and ocean waves, she explored a different kind of waves — magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar corona triggered by solar flares.
