Samuel Beskow has a degree in Agricultural Engineering from UFPel (2005), a Master’s degree in Agricultural Engineering (Irrigation and Drainage) from UFLA (2006), and a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering (Water and Soil Engineering) from UFLA (2009) with a 1-year sandwich period at Purdue University (National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory), IN, USA. He has been working as a professor and researcher at CDTec/Water Engineering at UFPel since 2010 in the area of hydrology and hydrological modeling. He has been a research productivity scholarship holder from CNPq (CA Agricultural Engineering) since 2015. He is a permanent member of the Postgraduate Program in Water Resources (Master’s and Doctorate), of which he was coordinator in its first 4 years (2013–2017). He has experience in the area of Water Resources, working mainly in the following areas: hydrology, hydrological modeling, computational hydrology, hydrological monitoring, urban hydrology, hydro sedimentology, and GIS. He is currently working with hydrological models (LASH, HEC-HMS, and others from HEC, SWAT, and LISEM), real-time hydrological forecasting and early warning systems, local and regional statistical hydrology, urban hydrology, artificial intelligence applied to hydrology and in the development of technological products focused on hydrology using R, MATLAB, and Python. In 2013, he was awarded the 2013 Bunge Foundation Youth Award for Water Resources and Agriculture.
