Short biography

  

Degree in Physics (Optics and Electronics) at University of Porto, Porto, in 1991; thesis on holographic optical elements aberration correction with an intermediate computer generated hologram, at Vrije Universiteit Brussels, under the ERAMUS Programme.

 

From October 1991 to September 1992, I was with Universidade Lusíada, Famalicão, Portugal, teaching courses in Electronics.

 

From 1992-1995, I was with INESC Optoelectronics Centre, Porto, Portugal, working on modelling of polymeric passive integrated optical component for wavelength division multiplexing.

 

Master in Optoelectronics and Lasers in February 1995; thesis on wavelength division multiplexing integrated optical devices.

 

From 1995 to 1999, I was with the Department of Physics of University of Porto and with the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering of University of Glasgow, Scotland, as a Ph.D. student in cotutelle, working on the optoelectronic properties of resonant tunnelling diodes. The technology developed was licensed to Essient Photonics Ltd, a spin-out from Glasgow University, launched in 2002.

 

Presently, I am a member of the Physics Department of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology at the University of the Algarve

 

Current research interests:

  - Design and characterization of electronic and optoelectronic devices incorporating low dimensional quantum structures.

  - Optoelectronic integrated circuits for telecommunication.

  - Nonlinear dynamics of electronic and optoelectronic devices and circuits for communications based on chaos.
  -
Remote sensing and terahertz technologies.
