António Alberto Pires Silva

António Alberto Pires Silva is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. His work focuses on wave dynamics, numerical modeling, and coastal engineering.

• University: University of Lisbon
• School: Instituto Superior Técnico
• Department: Civil Engineering

Research Interests: He specializes in stochastic and statistical modeling of wind waves, phase-averaged spectral wave propagation, physical modeling of wave breaking (including air entrainment), non-hydrostatic Navier-Stokes equations, and infra-gravity waves' impact on sea levels and inlets.

Scientific Activities: His recent publications highlight collaborations using numerical models (RANS, SPH, SWAN, Delft3D, FUNWAVE) to study wave-current interactions, lagoon stabilization, turbulence closure models, and coastal sediment dynamics. Key themes include wave energy distribution, dredging strategies, and 3D hydrodynamic coupling.
