Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Leitão is an experienced project and business development manager with 16 years delivering hydrology, water quality, remote sensing and environmental assessment projects from Lisbon. He leads AQUAFARM at HIDROMOD, combining farm-scale irrigation improvements with watershed and reservoir modeling to turn research-grade models into operational water management tools. With a PhD in Environmental Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, he has driven international R&D and field assessments — from flood risk work in Uganda to water resources programs in Cambodia — and published and presented widely. He also brings hands-on software and algorithm development experience (including contributions to the Mohid modeling system and FORTRAN engineering code), enabling rigorous, reproducible modeling workflows. Equally comfortable negotiating contracts and building client pipelines, he bridges technical excellence with commercial impact. Colleagues value him for translating complex hydrological science into practical, scalable solutions for sustainable water management.
