Bruno Azevedo have a Ph.D. in Drawing and its techniques of expression (Visualization
and Computational Drawing in Arts and Design) at the Polytechnic University of Valencia
(UPV), Master in Teaching Visual Arts at the 3rd Cycle of Basic and Secondary Education,
Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences (FPCEUP) and by the Faculty of Fine
Arts (FBAUP), and graduated in Communication Design. He is an assistant researcher
at the Algoritmi Center’s engageLab, an interdisciplinary laboratory blending art,
science, and technology at the University of Minho. In 2023, he received a Best Paper
Award and was named a Distinguished Member of the European Alliance for Innovation
(EAI) https://blog.eai-conferences.org/2024/04/02/distinguished-members/. Previously,
he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Digital Humanities Group at the Center
for Humanistic Studies at the University of Minho under the PortLinguE project (PTDC
/ LLT-LIG / 31113/2017), focusing on information visualization, user interface, and
user experience design. Bruno also contributed as a postdoctoral researcher to the
project “6,849.32 New Scientific Journal Articles Everyday: Visualize or Perish!”
(POCI-01-0145-FEDER-28284), a multidisciplinary initiative based on his Ph.D. work
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY5gaINpXTpuFxl28zPP-bA/videos, which focused on
user experience, interface design, and information visualization. Additionally, he
participated as a Post-Doc researcher in the INNOVATIVE CAR HMI project, a collaboration
between the University of Minho and Bosch, specifically in the project line P6.8.9
Cockpit of the Future: HMI Concepts and Functions, specializing in intelligent adaptive
interfaces, machine learning, usability, and user experience. As an invited assistant
professor, he taught Information Visualization and Data Analysis in the Digital Humanities
Master’s Program at the Institute of Arts and Humanities and Digital Fabrication,
as well as 3D Modeling and Animation in the Visual Arts Bachelor's program at the
School of Architecture, Art, and Design at the University of Minho. Bruno’s research
bridges design, art, science, and technology, with interests in the evolution of biological
and cultural information systems, information visualization (both hierarchical and
relational), network science, information theory, complex systems, and user experience/interface
design. His methodology integrates UX design and visualization to unify data processing
with interactive interfaces. His current research focus merges aesthetic information
visualization, Zazen meditation, neuroscience, and computational immersive environments.
