Curriculum Vitae

NUNO FILIPE DA SILVA FERNANDES DE CASTRO

I am Vice-President for Research and Scientific Innovation of the School of Sciences of the University of Minho, as well as Assistant Professor of Physics and Researcher at the Portuguese Laboratory for Experimental Particle Physics (LIP). I am also a member of the LIP's board of Directors, co-responsible for the advanced training at LIP and coordinator of the LIP Competence Center in Simulation and Big Data, as well as President of the Board of Directors of INCD - the National Infrastructure for Distributed Computing - and Area Director for Advanced Computing of the UT Austin Portugal Program. I am an active member of the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN since 2004, focusing mainly in the search for new physics phenomena, on the top quark sector and on advanced data analysis techniques. I have been convener of the Top Quark Properties (2012-2014); and Heavy Quarks, Top and Composite Higgs (2015-2016) Physics Subgroups. I have also been a member of the Speakers' Committee of the ATLAS Collaboration (2020-23) and co-convenor of the LHC working group for effective field theory (LHCEFTWG, 2020-22). I represent Portugal in the LHC Resources Review Board (ATLAS and CMS) and in the Finance Review Committees of the Amber, SND and Dune experiments at CERN. Previously, I represented Portugal in the CERN Council Workings Groups for Governance (2020-2024) and CERN's Geographical Enlargement Policy (2019). At the Portuguese Physics Society I co-coordinate the Particle Physics Division and I am President of the Fiscal Council. At the University of Minho I teach courses in general physics, computational physics, radiation physics, data analysis and particle physics at different levels (C1 to C3). I was Director of the Master in Physics from 2019 to 2021.
