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, Philippe’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. Projects include developing operational predictions for coastal inundation, navigation and emergency management. Other research incudes studying relative sea level rise, the spatial variability of vertical land motion and their societal impacts.

Philippe has authored or co-authored over 50 peer reviewed articles, over 270 proceedings, abstracts and technical presentations, a Physical Science textbook for future K-12 teachers and has two US Patents. Prior to joining TAMU-CC in 1999, Philippe was a research scientist at a private research institution working on R&D projects including developing prototypes for companies in the areas of oil exploration, environmental assessment, semiconductor materials analysis, and treatment of engineered wood materials. Philippe’s education consists of a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, and a Diploma in Physics Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne.
