Carlos Almeida
I was born in Porto in 1981 and I lived my childhood in my parents home village called S. Paio de Oleiros. After I conclude my high school in technological course of electronics at Escola Dr. Manuel Gomes de Almeida in 1999, I joined ISEP - Higher Institute of Engineering of Porto in Bachelor's degree of Electrical Engineering, branch of Electronics and Computers. In 2001 I joined the Autonomous System Laboratory that just started of research in robotics. In 2007 I concluded the Bachelor's degree and, two years later, at the same institution, I obtained the Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, branch of Autonomous Systems. In 2010 I was invited by ISEP to teach real time operating systems in the Electric Engineering Department (as Invited Assistant). In 2016 I was contracted as a researcher by INESCTEC to work in the Center for Autonomous Systems (CRAS). I'm now working on the H2020 UNEXMIN Project doing research on science and technology in robotics to be applied on flooded mines.

RADCAMIN
inSITE
Insite ore grading system using LIBS in harsh environments, funded by EIT Raw Material. LIBS is a promising tool for real-time analysis of low atomic weight critical raw materials such as Li. Most solutions on the market are plagued by inconsistent results and poor quantification performance. inSITE introduces a new solution based on a modular hardware architecture coupled with advanced algorithms and a knowledge database of mineral spectra, that will enable a new generation of smart LIBS technology, adaptable to real time ore grading in challenging scenarios.
