Groth received a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Maryland in 2004.[1] She received a Master of Science in Reliability Engineering in 2008 and a Ph.D. in Reliability Engineering in 2009, both from the University of Maryland.[1]
From 2009 to 2017, Groth worked for the Sandia National Laboratories.[1] While working at Sandia, Groth developed Hydrogen Plus Other Alternative Fuels Risk Assessment Models (HyRAM+), a software toolkit integrating publicly available hydrogen storage data and models.[2] HyRAM+ was used to develop both the American and international safety standards for hydrogen fueling stations—NFPA 2[3] and ISO 19880–1.[4][5]
In 2017, Groth joined the University of Maryland's School of Engineering. There, Groth is the associate director of the Center for Risk & Reliability. Groth is also the director of the Systems Risk & Reliability Analysis (SyRRA) laboratory.[5]
In 2021, Groth received the NSF CAREER award for Modernizing Risk Assessment Through Systematic Integration of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and Prognostics and Health Management (PHM).[6]
Groth serves on the board of the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History.[7]
