I'm Assistant Professor at the Department of Bioengineering (DBioEng) at the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) and researcher at the Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR). In the last years my work has been focused in Biomedical Engineering, namely, in Biomedical Imaging Processing and Physiological Modeling of Biological Systems. At this moment, my research activity is mainly in Bayesian Reconstruction Algorithms with Ultrasound (US), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy (FCM) Imaging. I'm also working with physiological data for  sleep disorders diagnosis based on mobile phone platforms aiming at long term monitoring exams. Almost all of my research activity is in collaboration with the Medical School of Lisbon (Faculdade de Medicina de Lisboa) and with the Instituto de Medicina Molecular at the Santa Maria Hospital in Lisbon.

I'm Senior member of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society and Member of the Bio Imaging and Signal Processing Technical Committee (BISP-TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and president of the Portuguese Association of Pattern Recognition (APRP) a member of the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR).
