About

I'm an Assistant Professor at the Department of Informatics Engineering (DEI) of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC), and a researcher at the Centre for Informatics and Systems of the University of Coimbra (CISUC).

At the University of Coimbra, I’m the vice-coordinator of the Bachelor in Design and Multimedia⇗ and I teach Internet Technology⇗Interactive Media Design⇗Interface Architecture⇗, and Interactive Virtual Reality Environments⇗. I am also leading the Virtual Reality Lab @ DEI.

I'm also a Visiting Academic at the University of Saint Joseph, Macau, China, where I teach the Virtual Reality Environments⇗ module of the Design Master Programme.

My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Tangible User Interfaces, Interaction Techniques, Interaction Design.

I have a PhD from the University of Minho (UM) where I worked at the Ubicomp group on interactive public display systems, an MSc in Mobile Systems also from the UM, and a Licenciatura from the Engineering Faculty of the University of Porto.

I am also Editor at the Scientific Reports - Nature journal.
