Carlos Jorge de Sousa Gonçalves holds a PhD in Computer Science (2017) and a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering (2002) from NOVA University Lisbon (Faculty of Sciences and Technology). He also holds a degree in Electrical Engineering – Systems and Communications from the Lisbon School of Engineering (ISEL). From 1998 to 2026, he served as a faculty member at the Lisbon School of Engineering (ISEL), Polytechnic University of Lisbon, where he progressed through the academic ranks to Adjunct Professor. He currently holds a teaching position at the Escola Superior Náutica Infante D. Henrique (ENIDH). Throughout his academic career, he has taught approximately twenty different courses across undergraduate and master’s programs in Computer Engineering, Informatics and Multimedia, Computer Networks, and Electronics and Telecommunications. His teaching areas include Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Large-Scale Data Computation, Cloud Computing, Multimedia Systems, and Information Technologies. He coordinated several courses at both undergraduate and master’s levels, including Large-Scale Data Computation in multiple master’s programs over consecutive academic years. He supervised 10 master’s theses and 70 undergraduate student projects. He also served as chair and examiner in numerous master’s thesis defenses and student project evaluations. His pedagogical activity includes the authorship and co-authorship of 22 course support materials, including technical texts and lecture slide sets. In addition to teaching responsibilities, he was involved in the development and management of academic computing infrastructure, including laboratory systems administration, distributed systems environments, web and email services for teaching support, and the deployment and expansion of Moodle-based e-learning platforms. He also participated in academic coordination and accreditation processes as a member of master’s program coordinating committees, contributing to national accreditation procedures conducted by A3ES. His research activity is focused on distributed and parallel computing, cloud computing, large-scale data analytics, collaborative digital ecosystems, and cyber-physical systems. His PhD thesis addressed parallel and distributed statistical extraction of relevant multiword expressions from large text corpora, with emphasis on algorithmic design and performance evaluation in large-scale environments. He is an Integrated Member of UnIRE (ISEL) and has been associated with NOVA LINCS. His scientific production includes 30 publications: one PhD thesis, one master’s dissertation, two journal articles, and twenty-six conference and book chapter papers, many published in IEEE and Springer venues. His work covers topics such as MapReduce workflows, distributed term extraction, microservices platforms, IoT supervision frameworks, collaborative monitoring systems, and digital service ecosystems. He has participated in multiple research and development projects in collaboration with academic institutions and industry partners, including projects related to intelligent transportation systems, cloud strategy for public administration, IoT platforms, and digital collaborative infrastructures.
