Between 2006 and 2013, he worked as a Junior Researcher, at INESC TEC, on several international and national projects about wind power forecasting and its integration into power system operations. One example is the FP6 EU Project ANEMOS.plus (2008-2011) where he developed three software tools for smart transmission grids with high penetration of wind power. Another project was ARGUS (2008-2013), funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), where he developed, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, new algorithms for point and probabilistic wind power forecasting, as well as decision-aid tools to integrate forecasts in decision-making problems. At the national level, in the EPREV project, he developed statistical models for an innovative wind power forecasting system. As a result of this project, a spin-off company, Prewind Lda, was created for selling the forecasting services. He is a co-founder of that company. Since September 2013, he has been a Senior Research at INESC TEC. He was involved in the FP7 EU Projects SuSTAINABLE, evolvDSO, and HYPERBOLE where his main tasks are the design of smart grid architectures, innovative grid management tools, and the development of spatial-temporal forecasting algorithms. In the Horizon 2020 SENSIBLE (2015-2018) and SmarterEMC2 (2015-2017) projects he designed use cases for innovative grid and market management functions. Presently, he is the technical coordinator of the Horizon 2020 InteGrid project (2017-2020), which is demonstrating how distribution system operators may enable all stakeholders to actively participate in the energy market and distribution grid management and develop and implement new business models, making use of new data management and consumer involvement approaches. Moreover, he is leading the work of INESC TEC on the Horizon 2020 project Smart4RES (2019-2023) to develop privacy-preserving techniques and data auction algorithms for renewable energy forecasting, as well as new methodologies to integrate forecast uncertainty in electrical grid and flexibility management. He is the Coordinator of the Horizon Europe AI4REALNET project. He is Senior Member of IEEE since February 2019. With a h-index of 39 (Scopus), co-authored 62 journal papers, 128 conference papers, and 7 book chapters about renewable energy forecasting, power system operation, and electricity markets. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy between 2018 and 2023.
