Education
Doctor in Electrical Engineering and Computers by the Superior Technical Institute of the Technical University of Lisbon (IST/UTL) in 2002. The thesis theme was "A system for millions of active users with correlated traffic patterns".
Master in Electrical Engineering and Computers by the Superior Technical Institute of the Technical University of Lisbon (IST/UTL) with A classification (1994). The thesis theme was "Specification and Synchronization of Multimedia Applications with Distributed Control".
Degree in Electrical Engineering and Computers at Superior Technical Institute of the Technical University of Lisbon (IST/UTL) in 1991 with A classification (18 in the scale of 20).
Activities
Assistant Professor at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia of Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT/UNL) since April 1999. Teaching assistant at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia of Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT/UNL) from April 1999 until October 2002. Teaching assistant at Instituto Superior Técnico of Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (IST/UTL) from September 1991 until April 1999. Taught in the subjects: Signal Analysis (basic mathematics for signal analysis), Telecommunications Systems (lower OSI layers below transport), Data Transmission Protocols (OSI layers above transport, data compression, MPEG, JPEG, audio coding, electronic mail, directory service, etc), Distributed Systems (CORBA, etc), and security protocols.
Researcher at UNINOVA since October 1999. He is responsible for project MPSAT (2010-2013), which is developing multipacket reception wireless systems adapted for satellite networks. Researcher at INESC (Institute of Systems and Computers Engineering) from September of 1991 until September 1999, where he participated in the development of TPH28 and on the Eurescom project EMMA. The TPH28 is a program to interface public switched network databases using the CEPT protocol tph28 over X.25 networks. The EMMA project consisted in the evaluation of the performance of the European ATM pilot network with Multimedia applications (videoconference, CSCW, etc). The participation in the EMMA project included the development of a multimedia distributed platform, DIMPLE, suitable for supporting shared multimedia applications. DIMPLE was integrated with an off-the-shelf videoconference system (Berkom). Undergraduate Researcher at INESC between 1988 and 1990 where he worked in the development of access control hardware (based on 80535).
Member of IEEE, ACM and the portuguese Ordem dos Engenheiros.
