        Areas of Research / Interest

        • Develops activities in  information systems and real-time prediction systems in support of  emergency management, using parallel computing in distributed  environments.
        • Develops activities in data science, information  systems and real-time forecast systems in support of water emergency  management.
        • These activities are supported by the recent  research performed in the field of dependability and machine learning,  which includes 1) the study of a generic methodology for the reliable  monitoring in environmental sensor networks, promoting the detection,  categorization and correction of abnormal measurements obtained by  environmental sensor networks; and 2) the development of automated  solutions for reliable data quality for aquatic environments that can be  affected by external factors.

        Research and Professional Activity

        • project  PAC:MAN (PTDC/AAC-AMB/113469/2009): risk accidents management system –  funded by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia) – the goal is to  research oil spills accidents data and validate a set of environmental  indicators related to atmospheric and oceanographic data that may lead  to accidents occurrence. And integrate this in a early alert oil spill  system in coastal areas, based on mobile technologies;
        • project  C-WOS: A computational system for early warning of oil spills in  estuaries and coastal regions – funded by FLAD (Fundação Luso-Americana  para o Desenvolvimento) resulting from a partnership between LNEC and  the NSF Science and Technology Center for Costal Margin Observation and  Predicition of Oregon Health and Science University. The Project has as  goal the development of an information system for early warning of oil  spills in estuaries and coastal areas;
        • project SPRES: Oil spill  prevention and response at local scales (Interreg Atlantic Area  Transnational Cooperation Programme 2007-2013 project SPRES -  2011-1/168) – development of a real-time forecast system using real-time  monitoring in Ria de Aveiro;
        • project "Modelos de Partilha de  Dados/ARH do Norte”, in the conception and development of two  applications to manage reports, involving ETL techniques and development  of a WebGIS (online visualization for data from a geographical  information system);
        • project "Salva-Vidas/SAGE-B”, in the  conception and development of dam-break emergency management support  system, with a case test of a dam in Portugal, Alqueva dam;
        • project  "FURBS, Forma Urbana Sustentável – Desenvolvimento Metodológico para  Portugal”, in the development of a system that supports an urban shape  evolution analysis methodology;
        • project G-cast, in the  development of a system that provides a framework to visualize and  manage the results of several models running continuously, using the  GRID cluster;
        • writting proposals to research projects submitted to Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia;
        • writing  proposals for studies and contracts submitted to national organisms  (Protecção Civil e Infraestruturas do Alqueva, ARH do Norte e Algarve)  and internationals.
