Profile
Following my personal interest and initial background in fluid mechanics, a large part of the studies I have undertaken during my career were related to coastal physical oceanography. These included subtopics as diverse as modelling estuaries hydrodynamics and sediment transport, assessing water quality and marine environmental radioactivity, or evaluating waves and tidal energy resources.
Prior to joining the Environmental Research Institute (ERI), I had an extensive experience working as a consultant. During that period, I have developed bespoke mathematical models to predict hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics and contaminant dispersion in estuaries and shelf seas. As I went along I improved my skills in numerical modelling and extended my knowledge to environmental radioactivity among others.
Since I joined ERI, the core of my work consisted in the development and application of state-of-the-art spectral wave models to the evaluation of marine renewable energy resources. This activity was undertaken under the regional and European projects MaREE, EnergyMare and TURNKEY. As part of my desire to value my skills and diversify my portfolio of activities, I took on the leadership of teaching modules on:
