Francisco Correia dos Santos
I am Full Professor (Prof. Catedrático) at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Instituto Superior
Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon
(Portugal).
Currently, I am Vice-president of the Board of Directors of FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia).
My research lies at the intersection of computer science, evolutionary biology, experimental economics, and physics. I have been working on problems related to the evolution of cooperation and social norms, environmental governance, network science, city planning, and the impact of technology on human behaviour, among others.
I received a PhD in Computer Science from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), as a Marie Curie PhD Fellow at the Institut de Recherches Interdisciplinaires et Intelligence Artificielle (IRIDIA). After my PhD, I was FRS-FNRS Chargé de Recherches at the Machine Learning Group of ULB (MLG, Brussels), and Investigador Auxiliar at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence of NOVA (CENTRIA-UNL). In 2019, I held a Chaire Internationale at the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
I was awarded the 2017 Young Scientist Award for Socio-Econophysics of the German Physical Society, the 2016 CGD / University of Lisbon prize in Computer Science, and the 2022 IST's Outstanding Teaching Award, among other prizes.
Before joining FCT in July 2022, I was the coordinator of the Group of Artificial Intelligence for People and Society (GAIPS), part of INESC-ID, and co-head of the interdisciplinary group ATP. I was also one of the coordinators of the new MSc in Data Science and Engineering of IST, and coordinator of the PhD programme in Computer Science and Engineering of IST, U. Lisbon.
Currently, I am associate editor of Adaptive Behaviour, Entropy, Minds and Machines, Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, PLoS ONE, and Scientific Reports, and regularly serve as guest editor for PLoS Computational Biology.
