During my Ph.D. titled “Multidimensional Visualisation of Spatial Information - Improving Data Accessibility and Perception”, part of my research work was developed at the Vrije Universiteit – Amsterdam. After doing my Ph.D., and before becoming an Assistant Professor at the FCT/UNL, I was Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Department at the Universidade de Évora.
I am member of the Digital Media Ph.D. Scientific Committee in the scope of UT/Austin-Portugal Program. I am also a member of the MIEI (Integrated Master in Computer Science and Engineering) Scientific Committee at FCT/UNL since 2014. I supervised (or co-supervised) 4 Ph.D. and 25 MSc students who have already completed their degrees and I am currently supervising (or co-supervising) 5 Ph.D. students and 5 M.Sc. students. I have authored and co-authored many publications in books and peer reviewed journals and conferences such as CHI, UIST, MobileHCI, INTERACT, ACE and MUM. I have been involved in the organization and served on the program committees of various national and international conferences, such as INTERACT, IUI, MobileHCI, ACE, Eurographics and EICS. I was also a member of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment - ACE (2012-2017).
