Susana Alexandra Barbosa

I’m a senior researcher at INESC TEC, working at the interface of data science, earth observation and robotics. My background is in physics and applied mathematics (astronomy), with a master degree in the field of scientific computing and a PhD in surveying engineering [Thesis: Sea level change in the North Atlantic from tide gauges and satellite altimetry]. My research is highly interdisciplinary, with a strong emphasis on data science, particularly time series analysis of environmental data. I’m keen on ensuring that data is FAIR and open, and I have published and made publicly available +10 datasets. I edited a book and 4 topical volumes, and authored 3 book chapters and +55 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. I served as expert evaluator for +10 foreign funding institutions.

Associated Centres

Human-Centered Computing and Information Science

The Centre for Human-Centered Computing and Information Science (HumanISE) brings together engineers, scientists, and designers with expertise in Human-Centred Computing (HCC), Computer Science (CS), and Information Science (IS). Interdisciplinarity, one of the Centre’s defining features, fosters the development of software systems, methods, and tools designed to empower individuals and their communities. The excellence and impact of HumanISE’s research, innovation, and consultancy activities allow addressing increasingly complex, volatile, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and uncertain challenges, while ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and organisational standards and frameworks. Value transfer is achieved through close collaboration with academia and industry partners. HumanISE’s core research areas include Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Graphics and Interactive Digital Media; Information Management and Information Systems; Software Engineering; and Large-Scale and Special-Purpose Computing Systems, Languages, and Tools; as well as Computing for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. HumanISE also explores innovation domains like Earth, Ocean and Space Sciences; Personalised Health Research; Geospatial Information Systems Engineering; and Applied Information Systems and Computing.
