I was born in Ponte de Lima, Portugal. I’ve got my Ph.D. in Informatics Engineering from the University of Coimbra, Portugal. I’m currently a Professor in the College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC). Until very recently, just before joining UNCC, I was a Professor at the University of Coimbra. My research interests include dependability and security assessment and benchmarking, fault injection, failure prediction, static analysis and software testing, subjects in which I’ve authored or co-authored more than 230 papers in refereed conferences and journals. I’ve participated and coordinated several national and international research projects.

I’m currently Chair of the IFIP WG 10.4 on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance, Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC), Steering Committee Vice-Chair of the IEEE/IFIP Intl. Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), member of the Steering Committee of the IEEE Intl. Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE), member of the Steering Committee of the Latin-American Symposium on Dependable and Secure Computing (LADC) and I served as Program Chair on the program committees of the major conferences of the dependability area.

Interested in conducting high-impact research on dependable computing, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, etc.? Drop me an e-mail and let's talk!
