Victoria obtained a PhD in Engineering from the University of Aberdeen in 2018. She studied vortex-induced vibrations of rigid and flexible structures in uniform and sheared flows using phenomenological reduced order models of wake oscillator type, with the further application for predicting vibrations of risers and free-spanning underwater pipelines. Her Master and Undergraduate Degrees are in the Oil & Gas Engineering with the specialization in design and operation of oil and gas pipelines and storage facilities.

Currently, Victoria is working on the MUFFINS project.
