RESERACH INTERESTS
- soft computing (fuzzy systems, neural
networks, genetic algorithms)
- and its applications to automatic control,
optimization and computer vision in industry and biomedical engineering
- director and/or participant of several research projects in cooperation with portuguese industries (pulp and paper, cement, ceramics) and in several international programs (Comett, ESF- European Science Foundation, EU-TMR, etc.). I have also supervised several MsC and PhD thesis.
- one of the founders of CISUC- Center
for Informatics and Systems of the University of Coimbra, where he created and directs
the Adaptive Computation Group ( with research activities concerning
neuro-fuzzy systems, adaptive, on-line learning and intelligent control;
genetic multi-objective optimization; hierarchical and large scale
optimization; computer vision for industrial quality inspection).
- neuroinformatics: applications of soft-computing
and computational intelligence to model and analyse brain signals, namely
EEG and functional imaging (iFMR), and to apply them to seizure prediction
in epilepsy and to pattern analysis of brain signals in aging people in
order to find early indications of possible evolution to aging diseases.
- data-mining for industrial process
monitoring and for neuro-informatics studies.
Coordinator of EPILEPSIAE –
Evolving Platform for Improving Living Expectations of Patients Suffering from
IctAl Events, an FP7 ICT eHealth project, for the Development of a preventive transportable intelligent alarming system
for epileptic patients based on semantic mining, multisignal and
multidimensional processing with improved sensitivity and specificity. http://www.epilepsiae.eu
Researcher in BIOINK (Incremental Kernel Learning for Biological Data Analysis): development of computationally efficient ways to exploit large scale datasets using kernel machines, focusing on the design of incremental learning techniques. Funded by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia).
