Research


Since July 2007, I'm a member CRACS - Center for Research in Advanced Computing Systems research unit. I was a co-founder and lead CRACS till 2018. Prior to July 2007, I was affiliated with LIACC - Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory where I coordinated Parallel and Distributed Systems area.

CRACS was evaluated by an external panel in January 2008 and received a classification of Very Good, the highest mark received by research units focusing in Computer Science.

Starting from January 2011, CRACS is an associate unit of the INESC-TEC Associate Laboratory with scientific and funding autonomy.
