I’m an Invited Auxiliary Professor (Professor Auxiliar Convidado) at the Department of Electronics Telecommunications and Informatics of the Universidade de Aveiro with a degree in Computer and Telematics Engineer and a Phd on Electrotechnic Engineering. My teaching activities are mostly on Network related courses such as «Advanced Network Architectures», «Network Architectures», «Wireless Networks» and «Packet Switching».
In addition to teaching, I'm a researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações of Aveiro in the Advanced Telecommunications and Networks Group. I’ve recently been involved in IST-C-Cast a project whose main objective is to evolve mobile multimedia multicasting to exploit the increasing integration of mobile devices with our everyday physical world and environment and which followed project C-Mobile whose work relates to developments in 3GPP MBMS.
In the past I’ve participated in IST-Daidalos, a European Project working in future Next Generation Networks. In this project my work was mostly related to network architecture, L3 QoS support in Multicast/Broadcast environments. Other past projects include IST-Mobydick and IST-Akogrimo.
My main interests relate to the Context Management Architectures and Services, Mobile Applications and Telecom Services. During my years as a undergrad student, I helped create the University Linux User Group (GLUA – Grupo Linux Universidade de Aveiro), in which I still ocasionaly colaborate.
In my free time (when I have some), I spend it mostly sightseeing with my wife around Portugal. As a hobby I enjoy to fool around with R/C models and often I do some MTB around Aveiro with friends and family.
