OceanPact Director
OceanPact
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I am Captain (Ret.) and PhD in Ocean Engineering, now focused on Remote Operations for surveys and support offshore operations.
Leonardo Barreira has a PhD in Ocean Engineering, in the area of Oceanographic Instrumentation and Underwater Acoustics. He is also a Hydrographer, Captain (Ret.) from Brazilian Navy. In his career he has spent about 6 years at sea, mostly in Survey Vessels (both Hydrographic and Oceanographic) and around 15 years dedicated to R&D, at Navy Research Institutes. He also held the position of a warship commander.
In his international experience, Leonardo Barreira participated in the Brazilian Antarctic Program and in scientific exchange programs with the University of Algarve, in Portugal, and at the Center National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), in France. He took part, also, in many international meetings and conferences.
In 2021, after 30 years dedicated to the Navy, Barreira became a veteran and accepted an invitation to join OceanPact, a leading company for the offshore industry sector in Brazil. He is currently dedicated to developing the company's Research and Development sector, focusing on the areas of Ocean Instrumentation, especially integration of sensors and technical payloads; and remotely piloted autonomous vehicles, an area that is gaining more and more space in the offshore industry as technology advances and allows new tasks to be accomplished in a remote operations environment.
