Completed his PhD at FEUP in 2016. Previously took a Master degree at Coimbra University (the first of only three editions) in 2008. Researcher at LIACC, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Laboratory since 2010. Invited Adjunct Professor at FEUP - DEI (Department of Informatics Engineering) and IPCA - Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e do Ave, Technology School (Engineering in Development of Digital Games). Specialised in fire safety consultancy with focus on buildings designs, emergency and evacuation plans and fire drills. Authored dozens of fire permits, for hospitals, shopping centres, schools, hotels, public buildings, etc. Fire safety consultant at Casa da Musica and Coliseu Porto, the major concert halls in Porto. From 1989 to 2003 was senior analyst / programmer at Real Vida Seguros S.A., Life Insurance Company. Since 2001 technical diretor of consultancy firm AVANTEC, with focus on internet.
