I'm an Assistant Professor at the Department of Informatics of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisboa. I received my PhD degree in Computer Science (Informatics) from the University of Lisboa in 2003. I'm also a member of the LaSIGE (Large-Scale Informatic Systems Laboratory) research unit and of the Navigators group, where I co-lead the Timeliness and Adaptation in Dependable Systems research line.
My main research interests are in the area of dependable adaptive systems, focusing on architectures and middleware solutions for distributed embedded real-time applications. I was recently involved in the HIDENETS EU/IST project, contributing to the definition of an interesting and novel architecture for hybrid systems, which was demonstrated through the implementation of a proof-of-concept prototype of a car platooning application.
In the last few years I've been teaching several courses of the Informatics Engineering Degree, including Real-Time and Embedded systems, Programming in Distributed Systems, Parallel Computing and Computer Architectures. Currently I'm teaching courses of the MSc in Information Technology - Information Security (MSIT-IS), a Masters program of the partnership with the Carnegie Mellon University.
I'm also responsible for the sysadmin team and for the computing infrastructure of the Department of Informatics, with more than 10 labs and around 300 PCs, which are used by a population of nearly 1100 students and professors.
Like most people, I have some hobbies. For instance, I really like geocaching, which I do whenever I have the opportunity and the time for it. If you have a GPS device, you should also give it a try!
