About me

I am a computer scientist and lecturer at FCUP. While not at work I like simple pleasures like being with my family, a good book, keeping up with science news on the Internet, a night spent under the stars, growing trees or walking in the country side.

Current Research & Projects

last update: February 5th, 2010

Currently I am working on the specification and implementation of domain specific languages such as for programming wireless sensor networks or for supporting computational mobility. I am also interested in distributed systems, namely in P2P frameworks. I am the PI of the FCT project "CALLAS - Calculi and Languages for Sensor Networks" (contract PTDC/EIA/71462/2006).
