About NEREUS

Mattia is an environmental engineer and co-founder of NEREUS. He holds a PhD in Engineering for Marine and Coastal Environments from the University of Genoa, with research experience in Italy and Spain.

His expertise lies in coastal hydrodynamics and ocean modelling, with a focus on understanding how water, contaminants and floating material move through ports, lagoons and coastal seas. He combines numerical modelling and data analysis with direct field experience, including measurement campaigns at sea and scientific diving.

Over the course of his career, Mattia has contributed to international projects on marine pollution preparedness, coastal management and the sustainable use of marine resources. At NEREUS, he turns this scientific background into clear, practical support for clients working in and around the marine environment.

Andrés is a physical oceanographer and co-founder of NEREUS. He holds master's degrees in Physical Oceanography and in Territorial and Coastal Planning, together with a specialisation in coastal climate change risk assessment and adaptation from the University of Cantabria.

His expertise lies in ocean forecasting and coastal numerical modelling. At IHCantabria in Spain, he designed and deployed an operational forecasting system for a coastal bay, predicting currents, sea level, temperature and salinity. He has also worked on coastal erosion monitoring and mitigation, combining wave and hydrodynamic models with field surveys and spatial analysis.

With research and professional experience across Colombia, Brazil and Spain, Andrés brings an international perspective to coastal and marine challenges. At NEREUS, he turns ocean data and models into reliable, usable information for clients working in and around the marine environment.
