He got his BSc, MSc and PhD degrees from IST, Lisbon, Portugal. He was a researcher at Interval Research, Palo Alto, CA, and at INESC, Portugal.  AT NOVA FCT he created the Multimodal Systems group at NOVA LINCS and directed it until becoming NOVA LINCS Director. He was also the coordinator of the PhD program in Computer Science until recently and is the NOVA FCT coordinator of the national PhD program in Digital Media that he co-founded in 2008. This program was created in the scope of the UT Austin – Portugal partnership promoted by the Portuguese government that Nuno Correia directed. From 2017 to 2021 he was a member of General Council of NOVA, the main governing body of the university.   Nuno Correia supervised 20 doctoral and more than 90 master's dissertations and he continues to supervise students and training emerging researchers. Nuno Correia contributed to over 150 publications in journals, conferences, and books.  He has participated in EU-funded projects since the nineties and more recently in the H2020 project Cognitus with the BBC, CEF projects Weave and CultureMoves, Erasmus +KA CRAFT and the Horizon Europe project T-Factor. Over the years he evaluated grants and projects, in several programs. Nuno Correia is a member of the board of the NOVA Institute of Arts and Technology and co-director at NOVA of the program aimed at digitizing Portuguese cultural heritage. It involves the digitization of collections and virtual visits of 65 cultural equipments and it is the most extensive undertaking for cultural heritage digitization in Portugal.  Nuno Correia is the Principal Investigator of the DT4SST-CH.PT (Digital Twins for Smart, Sustainable Tourism and Cultural Heritage Preservation) project with the goal of building digital twins of portuguese heritage buildings funded by the DigitalTwins4SmartTerritories (DT4ST) program (FCT, IP and ARTE, IP). The project develops digital twin technology for Portuguese cultural heritage: dynamic virtual representations of heritage sites that combine 3D digitisation, IoT sensor data, artificial intelligence, and immersive storytelling. The goal is a scalable, transferable framework that supports both conservation and management of heritage assets and richer, more sustainable visitor experiences, addressing pressures such as over-tourism and the physical degradation of sites.
