Jose has extensive international experience in water resources, hydraulics, and river engineering. Early in his career, he worked with mobile-bed physical models of run-of-river intakes, desanders, and dams in high-sediment rivers, which inspired his focus on advanced numerical modeling, including river morphodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). During his doctoral research, he developed a 2D Finite Element model to simulate bed level changes in rivers caused by sediment transport.
Throughout his career, Jose has conducted numerous studies on dam breaches and flooding, reservoir sedimentation, downstream bed degradation, bridge hydraulics and scour, river training works, and sedimentation control for run-of-river intakes. He has also performed CFD analyses for spillways, desanders, tunnels, intakes, pump stations, wastewater treatment plants, fishways, landslide-generated waves, and local scour around bridge piers.
