About
José is a chartered Civil Engineer with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. He has worked in numerical modelling of rivers, reservoirs, estuaries, and coastal zones in several parts of the world. In these assignments, 2D and 3D hydrodynamic wind and tidal wave propagation models were used, as well as models for efluents’ dispersion, oil spills, and sediment transport.
José has coordinated several projects in forecasting systems based on the AQUASAFE tool developed at Hidromod. These services were contracted by ports, aquacultures, energy utilities, and water utilities.
He has worked in the area of ocean energy through participation in several European-funded projects and also as a non-executive director of the non-profit WAVEC – Offshore Renewables. He coordinates a data-sharing platform for ocean energy (Marendata.eu).
