At the moment I'm a Research Associate in the Electronic System Design and Automation (ESDA) group at Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Investigacao e Desenvolvimento (INESC-ID), Lisboa. Here I'm devoted to research on reconfigurable (FPGA) and embedded systems. Occasionally, I collaborate with CEDET-ISEL.
In the past:
Research Fellow, Instituto de Sistemas e Robotica (ISR-UC), Coimbra;
- Responsible for the production of research material related to BAMBI project, project documentation and deliverables, choice of hardware development platforms and software, support and training of MSc and PhD students in reconfigurable hardware circuit design, and verification.
Research Assistant, Imperial College London, United Kingdom;
- Research in fault-tolerant and partially-reconfigurable systems; responsible for designing a module for online testing of IP blocks for an artificial pancreas. Also, implementation of the Min-res algorithm on a ProcStar V from Gidel (Novo-G).
Research Assistant, Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (IT-IST), Lisbon;
- Research in acceleration of transport protocols for Internet over DVB-RCS satellites; responsible for the simulation of the new protocol in NS2 and its documentation.
Research Intern, Centro de Estudos e Desenvolvimento em Electronica e Telecomunicacoes (CEDET-ISEL), Lisbon;
- Development of hardware and software for embedded systems and development of analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits and systems, such as projects: "Infra-red light emitting source for license plates", and "Liquid's conductance logger"; 80C537 system development kit;
Research Topics:
Reconfigurable architectures for high-performance computing;
Design methods for circuit area, performance, resilience and power optimization;
