Dr. Philippe Tissot is the Conrad Blucher Institute Chair for Coastal Artificial Intelligence at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and a co-PI for the National Science Foundation Artificial Intelligence Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography, or AI2ES. Since his arrival at CBI in 1999, Dr. Tissot’s research has focused on the development of artificial intelligence methods for the analysis and predictions of environmental systems with a focus on coastal physical processes. Present projects include developing operational predictions for coastal inundation, navigation, sea turtle conservation, and emergency management. A particular focus is to design and calibrate AI models that include uncertainty quantification in collaboration with risk communication experts. A related focus is the deployment of low-cost water level sensors in rural coastal areas, the design of AI models to predict coastal flooding including compound flooding, and the development and implementation of automated water level quality methods. Other research includes studying relative sea level rise, the spatial variability of vertical land motion, other coastal processes and their societal impacts.
