I am currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics at NOVA School of Sciences and Technology of NOVA University of Lisbon since 2005. I am also elected President of the Informatics Engineering College at the Portuguese Order of Engineers (Ordem of Engenheiros). I obtained a PhD from Mannheim University in 2005, under an FC&T fellowship, after a BSc from IST in 1998. My major areas of interest are Software Engineering in general, and in particular Model-Driven Software Development, Domain-Specific Languages, and Cyber-Physical Systems Modelling. I have worked as a research collaborator at CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg) as a LIP-Lisbon member. I am currently (since 2006) a research integrated member at NOVA LINCS (previously CITI). I am a senior member of the Portuguese Academy of Engineering and a senior member of IEEE.  I have been recently vice-chair of a COST Action on Multi-Paradigm Modelling for Cyber-physical Systems. I have also organized a series of 8 international doctoral Summer Schools (DSM-TP), a doctoral training school (MPM4CPS 2018), and workshops (MPM, HuFaMo). I was co-editor of Journal Special issues (Software Quality Journal, Comput. Lang. Syst. Struct.). I have also been involved in the organization of international Conferences (co-chair and PC chair of QUATIC14 and 2016, and other organization roles in conferences such as VL/HCCC and MODELS). I have supervised 4 PhD students and >50 MSc students. I have >100 peer-reviewed publications in journals, conferences and workshops.
