Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiogo Costa is an assistant professor and hydrology researcher with nine years of multidisciplinary experience building transparent, reproducible environmental models and decision-support software for water management. He has led federal and academic teams—most recently at Environment and Climate Change Canada and the University of Évora—developing large-scale water quality prediction and forecasting frameworks and coaching students across levels. His work spans algorithm development, multi-scale hydro-biogeochemical modelling, and field-anchored experimental systems, and he has translated research into applied tools and a short-lived sustainability analytics venture. Diogo’s background includes a PhD from the National University of Singapore and practical project leadership from Cape Verde to Jakarta, reflecting a rare combination of advanced simulation coupling (surface-groundwater systems) and on-the-ground monitoring innovation. He prioritizes interoperability and reproducibility in software and frequently recruits collaborators for UE-Hydro’s open research projects.
