Areas of Research / Interest

Wave overtopping, Coastal oceanographic modelling, Risk assessment, Climate change and adaptation

Research and Professional Activity

Recently I’ve worked as a research grant holder, under the supervision of Professor Rui Taborda and Professor César Andrade, in the PMAACO project (Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Oeiras Municipality). My main tasks were to assess flood and wave overtopping risks in the present and in future climate change scenarios. I also participated in the PIAAC-AMAL project (Inter-municipal Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Algarve Region) regarding costal flood impacts and adaptation at the "Safety of People and Goods” sector. My research focuses on coastal risks reporting to extreme meteorological-oceanographic events in current and future scenarios. Considering coastal oceanographic modelling – wave overtopping; risk assessment; and adaptation strategies.
