More than 10 years of experience in astronomy including eight years of participation in
the programme “Astronomia no Verão” through successful applications for finance to
develop astronomy-related activities for the general public.
About 25 years experience in organising, promoting and participating in both national
and international activities aimed at teenagers and young adults as a member of the
“Corpo Nacional de Escutas” scout association.
Supervising experience
Supervision of 20 final-year projects with both national and international collaborations
including companies such as Valeo and Grundig, and Cranfield University, a UK
university where one student has worked for a summer period.
Participation in research projects
Universidade Lusíada de Vila Nova de Famalicão
FCT Project POCTI/EME/59491/2004 - “Monitorização Inteligente de Ferramentas de
Corte”: Involved in various deliverables, mainly those pertaining to computer-based
models and simulation, in addition to being a member of the organising committee and
moderator/facilitator of the Workshop “Máquinas e Ferramentas – Supervisão de
Processos”, which took place on March 29th 2007.
Universidade Lusíada de Vila Nova de Famalicão
In the context of the continuation of work completed in the UK, funding was obtained
in August 2003 for an exploratory visit to Cranfield University under a convention
between Portugal (Gabinete de Relações Internacionais da Ciência e do Ensino
Superior, GRICES) and the British Council that lead to a scientific and technological
cooperation program between Universidade Lusíada and Cranfield University.
Cranfield University, UK
Took part in a multi-partner project under the 5th Framework Programme (FP5)
encompassing a variety of companies and universities in several countries in Europe
and involving large amounts of information.
The project was coordinated by Cranfield University under the guidance of Prof. John
Nicholls, a leading high-temperature surface engineering Cranfield Professor with an
international reputation for excellence in research in his area.
Integral Vision, Ltd., UK
Played a key role in a six man team which has successfully developed a quality control
system for aligning printed circuit boards, using machine vision inspection systems.
