José A. A. Antolínez is an assistant professor on Coastal Engineering at the Hydraulic Engineering department of TU Delft university. Throughout multidisplinary collaboration, he conducted research on hybrid modeling, statistical downscaling, climatic attribution, pattern recognition, and machine learning applied to questions related to climate change, ecology, earth-sciences, oceanography, and coastal and estuarine processes, for both, understanding the past and present, and predicting the future.

As a coastal engineer, José A. A. Antolínez mission consist of anticipating future coastal impacts and enabling solutions to global coastal communities under climate change. Thus, his research focus on: i) understanding coastal dynamics and processes; ii) connecting these with far-field climate and anthropogenic drivers; iii) developing parameterization schemes for coastal modelling; iv) enhancing the efficiency of modelling workflows; and v) improving the usability of model predictions for coastal management and decision making. His experimental designs are often supported by hybrid workflows that combine observations, numerical models, and AI.

José A. A. Antolínez bridges research in education to lay down the foundations of future coastal engineering, engineering embedded in multidisciplinary teams for resilient solutions, where nature can coexist making a large societal impact. 

José A. A. Antolínez is an assistant professor on Coastal Engineering at the Hydraulic Engineering department of TU Delft university. He has a degree in Civil Engineering, a M.Sc. in Structures, a M.Sc. in Integrated Coastal Zone Management, and a Ph.d. in Civil Engineering for Environmental and Water Sciences. His PhD was supported by a FPU fellowship, that pushed him to combine research and teaching in the Environmental Hydraulics Institute (IH Cantabria) and at Cantabria University (UC) in Spain.  During the PhD, he visited and collaborated with researchers at international institutions such as USGS Santa Cruz, Oregon State University, Duke University, Deltares, and Auckland University. After his PhD, he worked as as medior advisor for two years at the Applied Morphodynamics section of the Department of Marine and Coastal Systems in Deltares. At TUD he is PI of the Coastal Science with AI in a Changing Climate group at the Coastal Engineering section, and he coordinates the working AI group of the network DIGISHAPE of companies, institutes, and governmental organizations related to the Dutch Water sector.
