Luís Manuel Pessoa

I am a senior researcher at the Centre of Telecommunications and Multimedia of INESC TEC, where I am also the coordinator of the area of Optical and Electronic Technologies. I received the “Licenciatura” degree in 2006 and PhD degree in 2011, both in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. Currently I am responsible for the conception and management of R&D projects, coordination of research students and fostering the valorization of research results through new contracts with industry. I was previously involved in teaching of RF/microwave engineering and optical communications as an invited assistant professor at the University of Porto. I am author/co-author of more than 50 publications in international conferences and journals with peer-review, and 1 european patent. I have coordinated several research projects and participated in several EU research projects. My main research interests include coherent optical systems, radio-over-fibre, RF/microwave devices and antennas, and underwater wireless power/communications.
