My Profile

About

Rui Ferreira is Associate Professor of Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa and a CERIS senior researcher. For the past 20 years, he has been involved in experimental research in fluvial, estuarine and coastal processes, development of laboratory instrumentation and mathematical modelling of free-surface flows, including the coordination of the development of PIV and bedload measuring systems and of mathematical modelling tools such as STAV model (http://www.fluidmechenv.tk/). He is Associate Editor of two international journals and has participated in the organization of several scientific events, including River Flow 2006. He is a member of the leadership teams of the Fluvial Hydraulics Committee and of the Experimental Methods and Instrumentation Committee of IAHR.
