Bio
André Pacheco (AP) is an Environmental Engineer doctorate in physical oceanography (PhD finished 01/2011). He specialized on collection and processing of coastal oceanographic data, focusing on hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and bathymetric change on time scales of hours to years. He worked on several projects, both with National and European institutions, being responsible for organizing and perform high-frequency measurement of the current-wave interaction. Today his focus is on marine renewable energies. He aims to understand (1) what are the best methods to evaluate the power extraction potential from a local site; (2) what are device-environment interactions and their influence on energy extraction efficiency; (3) what factors limit the reliability/survivability of the devices; and (4) how can this energy feed a future smart grid.
Until now, AP published 30 papers in peer review journals and his works were presented on the most rated international conferences on coastal processes and marine energy. He also supervised the completion of a PhD thesis and two MSc thesis, and is currently co-supervisor of two MSc Thesis on marine energy under the Master MACS - Marine and Coastal Systems, University of Algarve, where he lectured the Marine Modelling Systems course in 2016-2017. During the last 3 years, AP accumulated the function of being CIMA’ vice-director. He is also a European Commission evaluator of the Marie Currie Individual fellowships, RIA H2020 Earth Observation and Twinning calls, as well as of the Marinet2 H2020 Program.
AP contributed for the development of marine energy as a power source and an environmentally friendly alternative to existent energy sources, namely those based on hydrocarbons, by promoting and collaborating with several developers on testing scale prototypes in the water. The success of those tests allowed making a significant contribution to accelerate the deployment of marine energy devices by reducing over engineering, whilst maintaining reliability and survivability of the devices when extracting energy. The positive impact of AP research is demonstrated by (1) the existing collaborative projects with industry and top ranked EU institutions (indicators: 6 project approvals, 5 new project submissions, 3 projects under collaboration with developers. Total number of partners including academia/industry partners >30 ); (2) the capacity of AP to attract funding on highly competitive National and European calls (indicators: 620k€ / last 5 years); (3) the strong communication of different project outcomes through the main media channels, sea exhibitions and international conferences (indicators: 4 TV appearances, 8 radio interviews, 11 newspaper’ news, 5 specialized magazine’ news, 8 sea exhibitions, 2 documentaries, 10 presentations on international conferences) and (4) the scientific publications on top ranking science citation indexed journals (indicators: 11 papers / 5 years, increasing h-index from 6 to 12).
