Curriculum Vitae

Luís Miguel Domingues Ferreira Silva

Luís Silva is a senior researcher and invited assistant professor at the Physics Department of NOVA School of Science and Technology (NOVA-FCT). He holds a PhD in Human Movement and a master's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, and Computing. Following his doctoral studies, he completed postdoctoral training in Biomechanics at the University of Nebraska, USA, supported by a COBRE pilot grant funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and in Biomedical Engineering at NOVA-FCT. At NOVA-FCT, he contributed to the OPERATOR project, a flagship MIT-Portugal initiative focused on Industry 4.0. His subsequent research activities include the PrevOccupAI+ project (Foundation for Science and Technology - FCT), leveraging artificial intelligence to classify occupational risks through biosignal analysis (e.g., ECG and EMG); the KEEPCARING project (Horizon Europe), integrating physiological and psychometric data to assess stress and resilience among healthcare professionals; the ASTROPOWER project (European Space Agency, ESA), developing acoustic biofeedback systems to counteract muscle power loss by drawing analogies between aging and microgravity adaptations; and the AISYM4MED project (Horizon Europe), advancing the generation of synthetic biosignals for ethical and scalable applications in medical artificial intelligence. Within the PATTERN doctoral network (Horizon Europe), he supervises research aimed at enabling artificial intelligence for electromagnetic compatibility.
