Gaspar Rego

Gaspar Rego graduated in Physics (Optics and Electronics) by University of Porto (1992). Received the MSc degree in Physics of Laser Communications by University of Essex, Colchester, England (1994). PhD in Engineering Sciences by University of Porto (2006) and Doctor of Science in Physics (“Agregação”) by University of Porto (2013). Currently he is Principal Coordinator Professor ("Full Professor") at the Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo (IPVC), President of the Scientific Council of IPVC and Senior Researcher in the Center of Applied Photonics at INESC TEC. Formerly, he was Vice-President of the Scientific Council of IPVC (4 years), Coordinator of the Electronics and Computer Networks Course (5 years), Coordinator of the Physics Group (15 years), Member of the Scientific Council of ESTG/IPVC (16 years) and Member of the General Council of IPVC (4 years). He co-authored over one-hundred scientific papers in the area of fiber optic componentes and he serves as a reviewer for 17 scientific journals. His current interests are in the areas of fiber optic communications and sensors and also of renewable energy and energetic efficiency.

Applied Photonics

From fundamental science to real-world innovation: at our Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP), we explore optical phenomena as a unique toolbox for innovation in micro- and nanofabrication, optical, physical, and biochemical sensors, and platforms for analogue simulation and quantum computing. Our researchers focus on developing systems capable of operating in contexts where precise and reliable sensing is essential (industry, environment or biomedicine), as well as nonlinear optical devices for building quantum analogue simulations and computing platforms. Our advances in photonic sensing enable their use in extreme environments, e.g., outer space or deep sea. Based on a non-siloed organisation, the solutions we develop through the study of light and photons require multidisciplinarity and close, cooperative work across our various research domains. With our expertise in photonics and electronic systems integration, we explore the potential for technology transfer to the emerging national and international photonics industry.
