Ha publicado más de 200 publicaciones científicas y dirigido más de 40 tesis doctorales. En el año 2013 ocupó el 4º puesto del mundo en el ranking de autores con mayor factor de impacto en los últimos 5 años en el área de Ocean Engineering.

Ha sido coordinador de más de 150 proyectos internacionales relacionados con problemas de ingeniería costera y portuaria, evaluación y gestión de riesgos costeros, y gestión integrada de zonas costeras.

En los últimos 30 años ha sido consultor para diversas entidades multilaterales como el Banco Mundial, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo o el PNUD en temas de erosión, inundación y gestión de la costa.

Ha desarrollado herramientas y metodologías que hoy en día son utilizadas en muchos países del mundo, entre las que destaca el Sistema de Modelado Costero, SMC, con más de 580 empresas e instituciones usuarias en 56 países. Ha sido cofundador de una EBT dirigida a la investigación en energías renovables marinas que cuenta con 6 patentes.

Por su actividad investigadora ha recibido, en dos ocasiones, el Premio Nacional de Medio Ambiente. Por su actividad profesional recibió, en el año 2009, la Medalla al Mérito Profesional del Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos Canales y Puertos (CICCP) de España.
