We are pleased to announce that our company is partnering with CEFT (Transport Phenomena Research Center) at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) on a new research initiative funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). The project, titled Generative Artificial Intelligence for Fluid Dynamics, brings together experts in fluid mechanics and artificial intelligence to address key challenges in the evaluation of generative models applied to multiphase flows.

The core aim of this project is to develop a robust and standardized framework for assessing the performance of Super-Resolution (SR) models based on Generative AI (GAI), with a particular focus on gas-liquid biphasic systems. These complex systems are prevalent across a range of engineering applications, including bubble columns, pipeline transport, multiphase reactors, and wastewater treatment. Given the difficulty of capturing accurate and detailed information from such systems—whether experimentally or through computational models—the use of AI, and in particular generative models, presents a promising alternative.
While recent advances in generative AI have demonstrated strong potential in upscaling images and improving data quality, the field still lacks consensus on how to systematically and reliably evaluate these models in the context of fluid dynamics. This project aims to fill this gap by creating a multi-phase evaluation strategy that includes the collection of reference datasets, a critical review of current GAI methods (such as GANs, autoencoders, and transformers), and the development of new metrics tailored to the specific demands of flow dynamics.
Through this collaboration, we aim to contribute our expertise in applied AI to help build a more rigorous foundation for the future use of generative models in Computational Fluid Dynamics workflows. The end goal is to enable broader adoption of AI techniques in fluid dynamics, reduce computational costs, and ultimately support more efficient and innovative engineering solutions.
We are proud to be part of this forward-looking initiative and look forward to sharing more updates as the project progresses.

·AI Insights & Strategy
Companies today face a critical decision when building their AI capabilities: should they hire a full-time Chief AI Officer or work with a fractional Head of AI? This choice affects everything from budget allocation to strategic execution speed. The right decision depends on your company's size, AI maturity level, and specific business goals rather than following industry trends.
·AI Insights & Strategy
The rapid integration of large language models across enterprises has exposed significant security gaps that few organisations are ready to handle. As LLMs spread quickly through business operations, they introduce new and complex attack surfaces where traditional cybersecurity measures fall short against AI-specific threats like prompt injection, training data poisoning, and model theft.
·AI for Business
As AI transforms the business world, companies face a crucial challenge: finding leadership to guide their artificial intelligence strategies. Many organizations have discovered that hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer doesn't always make financial or practical sense. Instead, they're turning to fractional executives who provide specialized expertise without the commitment of a permanent C-suite position.
