Summary
Miguel Nogueira is a Head of Artificial Intelligence and climate-focused modeler with a decade of experience bridging advanced computational science and applied AI. He builds teams and AI-driven products that combine remote sensing, in-situ observations and digital twins to turn complex Earth-system science into actionable climate risk and carbon accounting solutions. As founder of Leiria Technology and former CSO/Head of Data Science at CO2offset.ai, he has steered early-stage ventures from research prototypes to science-based SaaS. He teaches data-driven decision making for climate risk at Católica Lisbon, and has been tapped as an expert reviewer for large philanthropic climate AI challenges. Trained as a physicist and computational modeler with PhD-level work at Duke and University of Lisbon, he uniquely marries rigorous numerical modeling with backend web development experience. Based in Leiria, Portugal, he quietly combines academic credibility with hands-on product delivery across climate, conservation and enterprise applications.
