José Simão is an Assistant Professor at the Engineering School of the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (ISEL), where he lectures about distributed systems and cloud computing, computer security, programming methodologies and runtimes. He is an Associate Researcher at INESC-ID Lisboa. Has a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering in 2015 from ULisboa (IST) with the thesis “Economics-inspired Adaptive Resource Allocation and Scheduling for Cloud Environments”, approved with merit and distinction, and a MSc from ULisboa, in 2008, with a dissertation about privacy enhanced location services. His research interests are about cloud infrastructures and services, particularly Serverless architectures, and computer security, with a special focus on software techniques for vulnerability detection. Over the last 15 years, he has actively engaged in technology transfer to society through projects, consultancy, and training in various domains, including computer security, cloud computing, smart cities and mobile payments. Currently, he serves as a member of the coordination board for the Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Engineering and Informatics at ISEL.
