Hélder Martins Fontes
Area Manager
Helder Fontes received the MSc degree in 2010 and Ph.D. degree in 2019, both in Informatics Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal. He is the coordinator of the Wireless Networks (WiN) area at INESC TEC and since 2009 he has participated in multiple national and EU research projects, including SITMe, HiperWireless, FP7 SUNNY, H2020 ResponDrone, DECARBONIZE, FLY.PT and Fed4FIRE+ SIMBED, SIMBED+ and SMART open call projects. He has been advisor of 10+ MSc theses on wireless networking simulation, emulation, and experimentation. His research interests include wireless networking simulation, emulation, and experimentation in the scope of emerging scenarios such as airborne and maritime, with special focus on repeatability and reproducibility of experiments using digital twins of wireless testbeds.
