Hi !

Currently, I'm a senior researcher at INESC where I  lead the Distributed Systems Group since 1998.

I'm associate professor at IST (Engineering School of the Technical University of Lisbon) where I've been teaching for many years. In 1996 I've created the discipline called ARGE ("Aplicações em Redes de Grandes Escala") which then changed its name to PADI ("Plataformas e Aplicações para na Internet") as it is called now; I've teached this discipline since 1996 up to 2006/07 both at Alameda (MEIC) and at TagusPark (MERC).  In the past I've also teached Operating Systems (Sistemas Operativos). More recently, I've created another discipline called Mobile Computing ("Computação Móvel") which I'm teaching at both campus of IST (Alameda and Tagus). 

Regarding more advanced disciplines (Masters and PhD levels), I've teached Distributed Systems Computing ("Computação em Sistemas Distribuídos") and Ubiqutous Compurting ("Computação Ubíqua"). Currently, I'm teaching a new discipline called Advanced Distributed Systems ("Sistemas Distribuídos Avançados") for PhD students.

I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6). As a Ph.D. student I did my research at INRIA (in Rocquencourt, near Paris) in the group SOR.  I have a Ms.C. in Computer Science from the Technical University of Lisbon (IST). While a Ms.C. student I did my research at INESC. 

I have participated in several European Projects such as Comandos, Harness, Broadcast, PerDiS, etc. Additionally, I' was the leader of several international and national funded projects such as OBIWAN (funded by Microsoft Research Cambridge) , Haddock-FS (funded by Microsoft Research Cambridge), UbiRep (funded by FCT), MobilerTrans (funded by FCT), and many others. 

My scientific interests are: system support for large-scale distributed data sharing, replication and consistency protocols, distributed garbage collection, persistence by reachability, operating systems, large-scale distributed applications, internet protocols.
