Daniel Filipe Borges, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurophysiology at the School of Health (ESS | Polytechnic
University of Porto) and an Integrated Researcher (Full Member) in the Pre-Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Group of
RISE-Health | TBIO, a joint initiative of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and the Polytechnic University
of Porto.
He holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical
Neuropsychology. He was awarded the academic Specialist Title (Grau de Especialista) in Neurophysiology and, during his clinical
career within the Portuguese National Health Service, progressed to the hospital career category of Specialist in Clinical
Neurophysiology, both attained prior to transitioning to an exclusively academic appointment. His scientific activity is focused
on clinical and translational neurophysiology, particularly multimodal and high-density electroencephalography (EEG), electromagnetic
source imaging, wearable neurotechnology, epilepsy across the lifespan (including pre-surgical assessment for epilepsy surgery),
cortical functional connectivity, and sleep medicine.
----------------
He has been active in higher education since 2006, teaching across undergraduate, postgraduate, and specialist training programmes
at ESS | P.PORTO, CESPU-ESSVA, and the Coimbra Health School (IPC-ESTeSC). At IPC-ESTeSC, he assumed academic leadership roles
including Head of the Clinical Physiology Scientific-Pedagogical Unit, Director of the Postgraduate Course in Electroencephalography,
Co-Coordinator of the Master’s Degree in Clinical Physiology, and member of the Technical-Scientific Council. Over nearly
two decades, he has taught more than 120 curricular units—approximately half as course coordinator—supervised more than 25
academic projects and theses, and participated in over 50 graduation juries and 11 specialisation juries, contributing to
advanced training and professional qualification in neurophysiology.
----------------
His scientific output includes peer-reviewed publications in international journals, more than 50 oral communications and
posters at national and international conferences, and several scientific awards. He is a regular peer reviewer for Q1 and
Q2 journals in neuroscience, neurophysiology, epilepsy, and sleep medicine, having conducted approximately 30 manuscript reviews
in the past two years alone. He has participated in more than 100 scientific meetings and has served as organiser, scientific
committee member, or session moderator in over 25 scientific events.
----------------
He accumulated 16 years of clinical experience within the Portuguese National Health Service, working in Neurology, Neurosurgery,
and Paediatrics, with specialised practice in multimodal EEG, epilepsy surgery pathways, and sleep medicine across neonatal,
paediatric, and adult populations. He supervised more than 125 hospital-based internships in clinical neurophysiology and
clinical physiology. This sustained specialist-level clinical practice underpins the translational orientation of his research
and teaching, ensuring strong alignment between scientific development, clinical relevance, and societal impact.
----------------
He is an active member of the Neurotechnology Section of the International League Against Epilepsy (Education & Knowledge
Task Force), the Portuguese Society of Neurology, the Portuguese Society of Clinical Neurophysiology and Sleep Medicine, and
the Portuguese League Against Epilepsy, contributing to education, standardisation, and knowledge transfer in epilepsy and
clinical neurophysiology.
