I help governments, engineering consultancies, infrastructure organizations, and research institutions solve complex challenges in flood risk management, river hydraulics, hydraulic and hydrologic modelling, environmental flows, and climate resilience. My work supports evidence-based decision-making for flood mitigation, river restoration, sustainable water resources management, and resilient infrastructure planning. With over 9 years of international experience across India, the UK, China, Hong Kong, and Portugal, I combine consultancy, applied research, laboratory experiments, field investigations, and numerical modelling to deliver practical engineering solutions. My expertise includes flood risk assessment, river engineering, ecohydraulics, hydraulic and hydrologic modelling, sediment transport, environmental flows, stage–discharge relationships, rating curve development, and uncertainty analysis. I work with tools including HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent, MATLAB, Python, ArcGIS/QGIS, and machine learning for water resources applications. I started my career as a Flood Risk Engineer at RMSI, contributing to World Bank and Asian Development Bank projects in India and Nigeria. I later earned a Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics from the University of Liverpool, completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and currently serve as an FCT CEEC Researcher (Investigador Júnior) at the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LNEC), Lisbon, Portugal. My work has resulted in 30+ peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and technical reports, supporting advances in flood resilience, ecohydraulics, and environmental management. I actively review for leading international journals, supervise postgraduate researchers, and serve as Guest Editor for a Special Issue on complex vegetated flows. I am passionate about translating research into practical solutions and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to address real-world water challenges. Open to consultancy, technical advisory, research partnerships, and international collaborations in flood risk, river engineering, hydraulic and hydrologic modelling, climate adaptation, environmental hydraulics, and water resources management.
I have been selected in the Call for the Stimulus of Scientific Employment Individual Support - 6th Edition (Individual CEEC (in Portuguese) 6th Edition), (Application Reference 2023.08036.CEECIND), as per the dispositions of articles 17, 18, 19 and 24 of the Regulation for Scientific Employment (REC in Portuguese), as Junior Researcher. As a result, the Program-Contract CEEC Individual 6th Edition has been celebrated between the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (Foundation for Science and Technology) and the Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil, I.P (National Laboratory for Civil Engineering), the latter as hosting institution.
