José Paulo de Vilhena Geraldes Leal

I was born in Portugal in 1964. I graduated in mathematics from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto and earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the same institution. My current position is auxiliary professor at the Computer Science department of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. I am also affiliated with the Center for Research in Advanced Computing Systems (CRACS), an R&D unit of INESCTEC Research Laboratory, where I am an effective member.My main research interests are technology enhanced learning, web adaptability, and semantic web.

Advanced Computing Systems

The Centre for Advanced Computing Systems (CRACS) strives for scientific excellence in the areas of programming languages, parallel and distributed computing, information mining, security and privacy, focusing on developing scalable software systems for multidisciplinary applications in Engineering, Life Sciences, Social Networks, the Internet of Things, and more. We explore deep theoretical and practical knowledge related to the design and development of programming languages and middleware for advanced computing systems - including parallel, distributed, high-performance, cloud, wireless, and IoT systems -, while mastering the concepts and methodologies that underpin trust, privacy, and security in computing systems. Our research environment brings together talented junior and senior researchers, most of whom are university lecturers. Together, they form the critical mass and scientific expertise required to fulfil our mission.
