Short Presentation

In 2002, concludes his 5 year Bachelor in Computer Engeneering at Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL). The final project was a framework to facilitate the communication between groups of distributed processes.

After that, he was invited to start teaching at ISEL in the Department of Electronic, Telecommunications and Computers (DEETC). He teachs different disciplines in the Informatics and Telecommunications curriculum, regarding object oriented programming, execution runtimes and computer security.

In 2008, obtains a master degree in Computer Engineering at IST. The thesis was "Jano: Serviço de Localização com Garantias de Privacidade", supervised by Prof. Paulo Ferreira and Prof. Carlos Ribeiro.

In 2010, he began his PhD work, supervised by Prof. Luís Veiga at IST. He is now focused in augmenting object oriented runtimes to share resources driven by application's performance, targeting cluster and cloud infrastructures.
