About Me

I am a Visiting Associate Professor at New York University Abu Dhabi, currently residing in the United Arab Emirates. I am also a member of the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Laboratory (LIACC) research laboratory of the University of Porto, which achieved the grade of “Excellent” (with a maximum score of 5/5/5 in all evaluation items) on the last FCT’s assessment of R&D institutions. My research is focused on the rigorous analysis and transformation of software, with the general goal of optimizing its non-functional properties while still ensuring its functional correctness. For more than 10 years, I am focused on optimizing the Energy Efficiency of Software Systems, an area in which I try to provide developers with information and tools to support the development of energy efficient software and at the same time that I seek to support end users, namely of mobile devices, in adopting more efficient usage patterns. In these lines, I have founded/coordinate(d) and/or am involved in projects and initiatives such as GreenHub, Green Sw Lab, GreenHaskell, GreenStamp and Sustrainable. I have a very solid research track. I published over 75 papers in peer-reviewed, top-quality venues, including award-winning publications such as "GreenHub Farmer: Real-world data for Android Energy Mining", awarded with the "Data Showcase Special Mention Award" at MSR - Mining Software Repositories 2019 (https://conf.researchr.org/home/msr-2019). I have coordinated and/or participated in almost 20 funded research projects and other initiatives such as GreenHub, Green Sw Lab, GreenHaskell, and Sustrainable. Also, I have a wide international network of collaborators, ranging from countries such as Denmark, Greece, Brazil, USA, UK or Germany, and a globally oriented perspective. I have integrated over 50 program committees for international conferences and journals, and I am also an ISTQB® Foundation Level (CTFL) Certified Tester. I have extensive and distinguished teaching experience across various roles and institutions, demonstrating my dedication to fostering knowledge and guiding students. I led courses that bridged foundational concepts with cutting-edge advancements in technology. My expertise spans a broad range of topics, including Data Structures and Algorithms, Software Engineering, Discrete Mathematics, Compilers, and Programming Languages. My teaching approach emphasizes clarity, engagement, and practical application, ensuring that students acquire both theoretical knowledge and the skills necessary for real-world problem-solving. In the past, I have held different types of positions in several institutions such as the University of Minho (Monitor, 2002-2004), the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (Assistant Professor, 2008-2010), the University of Porto, Faculty of Engineering (Assistant Professor, 2010-2012), the University of Beira Interior (Assistant Professor, 2012-2016), the University of Coimbra (Assitant Professor, 2016-2020) and the University of Porto (2021-2024).
