This diverse knowledge base keeps me passionate about the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-0c27c02a-cedd-48bd-bd73-d6443c198cfc\">Can you tell us about something exciting you are working on right now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-823ae745-a6cb-41a6-b299-ed2552344693\">I am currently working on the hydrodynamic and sediment dynamics characterisation, using numerical modelling and satellite data, to support the design of a harbour in Guinea-Bissau. This infrastructure project has the potential to make a significant impact in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b8d6d3de-7a4d-43c4-801e-7da5c73d0456\">What do you think the future of oceans and coastal energy development looks like in Portugal, and how can modelling tools support that transition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d48e79f9-7a86-4c5f-bfcb-853078876f6e\">The future of oceans and coastal energy development in Portugal is promising. Portugal has a historical tradition of successfully investing in marine endeavours, as seen in the 15th century when it developed the world\u2019s best marine pilotage, leading to two centuries of prosperity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d48e79f9-7a86-4c5f-bfcb-853078876f6e\">Today, Portugal is making substantial investments in ocean and coastal energy development. Numerical modelling is a cost-effective tool that supports these investments during the planning, design, and operational phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-ba5df7ba-e192-4898-a0f4-3564df97ebd4\">Beyond the work, what\u2019s your favorite part about being part of the Hidromod team in Portugal? Any fun team moments you\u2019d like to share?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-17be49b6-cf02-4dac-9eb4-de4645861449\">Being part of Hidromod feels like being on a special operations team. We tackle complex projects together, adapting to challenges, supporting one another, and ultimately accomplishing our mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-17be49b6-cf02-4dac-9eb4-de4645861449\">A fun &#8220;fact&#8221; at Hidromod is that when a team member\u2019s son is born, it\u2019s seen as a sign that more work is on the way. We currently have 27 sons, with one more on the way, and, true to form, more projects are coming in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"578\" data-id=\"125243\" src=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hidromod-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hidromod-33.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hidromod-33-300x226.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"125245\" src=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hidromod-x-rueben.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hidromod-x-rueben.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/hidromod-x-rueben-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-4333ce09-1d44-4afe-a277-198f5c7d26db\">If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a93c86c7-6700-4d3d-bd6c-093b2ee34d62\">I would help clients understand that the most effective way to save money when building and operating coastal infrastructure is to invest in observations (both in situ and remote) and numerical modelling. These tools provide critical insights that enhance efficiency and reduce costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"block-fc9df12e-d520-4b4c-9783-64a4d55ef086\">More about Paulo <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a87d53f8-20e2-45e0-909d-3893595067ea\"><strong>Position:<\/strong> Marine Team Leader &amp; Managing Director at Hidromod<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e49432b5-2b52-4217-aab4-af5d62f38ea7\"><strong>Office:<\/strong> Portugal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-5e62bf92-1487-4bdf-9549-6be451df55da\"><strong>Hobbies: <\/strong>Running, working out at the gym, taking long walks in nature, and sharing and listening to daily life stories with my wife, son, and two daughters (always good for a laugh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e4878327-e37b-4113-a863-e36dd76a81c5\"><strong>Favourite book: <\/strong>I have read many fascinating books throughout my life.

This hybrid event brought together global experts to advance the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mohid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MOHID system<\/a>, a powerful tool for simulating hydrodynamics, water quality, and sediment transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosted at IST\u2019s Civil Engineering Pavilion, MOHIDing 2025 welcomed researchers, engineers, and developers for two days of in-person and online. MOHIDing 2025 was a hub for collaboration, with Hidromod\u2019s contributions sparking discussions on integrating AI and IoT into environmental modelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hidromod, a long-time contributor to the MOHID community, contributed to several insightful discussions addressing challenges like erosion and sediment dynamics to support sustainable coastal management, integrating scales to simulate the impact of positive (e.g. thermal and freshwater) and negative (e.g. saline) buoyant outfall plumes in coastal environments, parallel and cloud computing, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our work continues to drive real-world impact, from consultancy to operational forecasting.
