Involved in the pro­duc­tion of large datasets by means of numer­i­cal sim­u­la­tions of flu­id flows with high-per­for­mance com­put­ing • Accord­ing­ly inter­est­ed in and exper­i­ment­ing with the prin­ci­ples, gen­er­al­i­ties and best prac­tices in Research Data Man­age­ment • Like­wise, hon­ing and pro­mot­ing relat­ed dig­i­tal lit­er­a­cy and com­pe­tence as cer­ti­fied Car­pen­tries instruc­tor

In my career I worked with four strands of activ­i­ties:
Con­sul­tan­cy • com­put­er sim­u­la­tions, desk stud­ies, inter­pre­ta­tion of obser­va­tion­al data • top­ics: cur­rents, tidal streams, storm surges, riv­er flows, strong­ly strat­i­fied estu­ar­ies, ther­mal dis­charges, saline intru­sion in locks, fish­ways flows, under­wa­ter sound, wave-struc­ture inter­ac­tion
Mar­ket­ing • pro­mot­ing small and multi­na­tion­al com­pa­nies • orga­niz­ing and par­tic­i­pat­ing in busi­ness trips to per­spec­tive part­ners and clients abroad • lin­ing-up of inter­na­tion­al bid­ding teams for ten­ders worth €500k+
Out­reach • short cours­es, lec­tures • train­ing, coach­ing and tuto­ri­als for (post)graduate stu­dents • oral and poster pre­sen­ta­tions at con­fer­ences • lec­ture notes • MSc stu­dents super­vi­sion • organ­i­sa­tion of research and stake­hold­ers meet­ings
R&D • pub­li­ca­tions in ref­er­eed jour­nals of research and review arti­cles (award-win­ning) • devel­op­ment of CFD (Com­pu­ta­tion­al Flu­id Dynam­ics) soft­ware for fun­da­men­tal and envi­ron­men­tal flow prob­lems • prod­uct devel­op­ment, accu­ra­cy assess­ments, qual­i­ty con­trol • soft­ware trans­la­tion (skilled pro­gram­mer, pow­er user) • audit­ing of CFD solvers by means of ver­i­fi­ca­tion and val­i­da­tion
