I am Associate Professor with a PhD in Civil Engineering (2002) and Habilitation in Transportation Engineering (2018) from the University of Coimbra (UC). I am Deputy-Director of the Research Centre for Territory, Transports and Environment (CITTA) and I am also the Head of the Transport Engineering and Management (TEM) Research Group of CITTA. This research group has seventeen researchers with PhD and nine PhD students on the Doctoral Program in Transport Systems or the Doctoral Program in Spatial Planning. I am also the Coordinator of the Civil Engineering Department division for Spatial Planning and Transportation Engineering. In 2018 I was awarded a prize for R&D International Publications by FCTUC. In 2005, I was awarded the Parkman Medal by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) from United Kingdom. I have worked on several research projects financed by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Recently, I coordinated a research project entitled PAVENERGY – Pavement Energy Harvesting Solutions. Previously, I coordinated a research project entitled MODAT - Multi-objective Decision-Aid Tool for Highway Asset Management. I have made numerous presentations at international and national meetings, worked and lectured on transportation engineering and management. I have published about two hundred papers in international and national Journals and in international and national Conferences. I have also tutored and co-tutored more than forty MSc and PhD theses. I have been an Expert in Transportation and Highways for the Portuguese Institution of Engineers since 2007. I am also a member of the World Road Association (AIPCR) and Regular Member of the International Society for Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Transport Infrastructures (iSMARTi). As a Pavement Expert, in the scope of technology transfer, I have been collaborating with the Portuguese Roads and Railways Administration, highway concessionaires and Portuguese Municipalities.
