About Us

Our research group conducts fundamental and applied research in coastal  hydrodynamics, renewable ocean energy, ocean physics and geophysical fluid dynamics using a combination of numerical, observational and laboratory methods.

We are also passionate about supporting coastal communities in increasing their resilience, ensuring public beach access, and promoting sound public policy regarding the management of Puerto Rico's maritime terrestrial zone.

Our group, loosely led by Miguel F Canals Silander, is a collaborative effort between a mix of highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students majoring in engineering or oceanography and faculty members from UPRM's departments of engineering sciences and materials, marine sciences, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering departments, among others.
