I received the Licenciatura degree in Electrical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal in 1998 and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from University College London, U.K. in 2002.
From January 2003 to September 2006, I held postdoctoral research appointments at Cambridge University, U.K., both as a Research Associate and later as a Senior Research Associate. From September 2006 to March 2007, I was a Visiting Researcher at Princeton University, U.S.A. In March 2007 I joined the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, as an Assistant Professor, and I also joined the Instituto of Telecommunications. I am an Honorary Senior Researcher at University College London, U.K. I am also a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University. I have also been a Visiting Researcher at Princeton University, U.S.A. in the Summer of 2007, 2008, and 2009.
My research interests include the general areas of information theory, communications theory, signal processing and optimization, and their applications to wireless and optical systems and networks. I have over 80 publications in international journals and conference proceedings in these areas. I have also been lecturing frequently abroad and have also served as a technical consultant to major international telecommunication companies.
I have served on the technical programme committee of various international conferences. I was the recipient of the the Prize Engenheiro António de Almeida, the Prize Engenheiro Cristiano Spratley, and the Merit Scholarship from the University of Porto, and the best student poster prize at the 2nd IMA Conference on Mathematics in Communications. I was also the recipient of doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, and postdoctoral fellowships from Foundation Calouste Gulbenkian.
