Keynote speakers

Maitane Olabarrieta is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Cantabria (Spain) in 2006. Her research interests cover diverse oceanographic and long-term morphodynamic evolution problems that affect our coasts. By combining both measurement analysis and numerical modeling techniques, she and her students study processes with a wide variety of spatial and temporal scales, including momentum exchange processes during hurricanes and extreme storms, the generation mechanisms of meteotsunamis, short-term estuarine transport processes, and the long-term evolution of tidal networks and inlets. One of her main goals is to improve numerical models used to predict coastal change, erosion and flooding. During her research career has collaborated with several research groups from Europe, the United States, New Zealand, China, and Australia. In 2015 Maitane received the NSF Career Development Award, that has provided her the unique opportunity of analyzing the morphodynamic evolution of mix-energy inlet systems. She has published 43 refereed publications and has supervised 7 Ph.D. and 7 M.S. students.

As a physical oceanographer and CEO of Spoondrift, Dr Tim Janssen combines his passion for ocean science with a drive to innovate the way we measure and model ocean dynamics. Dr Janssen received his PhD from Delft University in the Netherlands, pursued his Postdoctoral Research at the Naval Postgraduate School in California, and taught physical oceanography at San Francisco State University (SFSU). Through his research at SFSU, Dr Janssen started experimenting with low-cost distributed ocean sensor networks, developed an independent research team to accelerate this, and co-founded Spoondrift in 2016. Currently at Spoondrift, he works with the Spoondrift team to create a more data-abundant ocean through the deployment and dissemination of low-cost distributed ocean sensor networks and development of innovative data-assimilation and data-learning techniques.

Dr. Katherine Brutsché is a Research Physical Scientist in the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (USACE ERDC). She is also the Deputy Program Manager of the Regional Sediment Management Program. Her main research topic is regional sediment management, specifically nearshore berms, where she seeks to create better predictive tools for nearshore berm evolution. Other research includes better constraining the environmental issues associated with dredging and placement within the nearshore zone such as turbidity plumes and fate of fine materials transported across the beach and nearshore. Dr. Brutsché received her Ph.D. in Coastal Geology from the University of South Florida in 2014.

Dr Alejandro Souza is a Physical Oceanographer, graduated in Oceanology from the UABC, with a Masters and PhD from the University of Wales. He has dedicated his career to studying the processes of coastal oceanography and of platform seas and estuaries; with special interest in the processes of turbulence, mixing, and sediment transport. In particular, he has studied how baroclinic processes can modify circulation and transport. He is currently as a researcher at CINVESTAV and is a Professor at the University of Liverpool, after having worked at the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory/National Oceanography Centre for 20 years where he was the head of the sediment transport group from 2005 to 2015. He has written 87 articles in high-impact journals and has been editor of various publications: JGR-Oceans, Ocean Dynamics and Ciencias Marinas.
