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.

António Paulo Gomes Mendes Moreira has a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering - FEUP (1986), Electronic Instrumentation option, a Master's degree in Electrotechnical and Computer Engineering - Systems Specialisation at FEUP (1991), a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (1998) and an Aggregation - FEUP (2017). He is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. He is also a Researcher and Coordinator of CRIIS - Centre for Industrial Robotics and Intelligent Systems and Head of the iiLab – Industry and Innovation Laboratory at INESC TEC. He carries out research essentially in Robotics, Automation and Control, with an emphasis on its application in industrial projects and technology transfer. He has participated or is still participating in 25 scientific projects, being the coordinator or researcher responsible for 7 of them. The work carried out on these projects has generated 40 projects with companies or development and technology transfer contracts, and he is the lead researcher on 18 of these projects. He also participated in the development of 18 prototypes and 2 patents, of which he is co-owner. He has contributed to the creation of two spin-off companies.

I am an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto and the coordinator of LIAAD , the Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Lab of UP. LIAAD is a unit of INESC TEC (Laboratório Associado) since 2007. I am a PhD in Computer Science by U. Porto, MSc. on Foundations of Advanced Information Technology by the Imperial Collegeand BSc. in Applied Maths and Computer Science, currently Computer Science (U. Porto). My research interests are Data Mining and Machine Learning, in particular association rules, web and text intelligence and data mining for decision support. My past research also includes Inductive Logic Programming and Collaborative Data Mining. I lecture courses related to programming, information processing, data mining, and other areas of computing. While at the Faculty of Economics, where I stayed from 1996 to 2009, I launched, with other colleagues, the MSc. on Data Analysis and Decisison Support Systems, which I coordinated from 2000 to April 2008. I lead research projects on data mining and web intelligence. I was the director of the Masters in Computer Science at DCC-FCUP from June 2010 to August 2013. I co-chaired international conferences (ECML/PKD 2015, Discovery Science 2009, ECML/PKDD 05 and EPIA 01), workshops and seminars in data mining and artificial intelligence. I was Vice-President of APPIA the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence.
