Bio

Ana Aguiar is Assistant Professor at the University of Porto (UPORTO), researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) since 2009. Her research interests lie in the field of wireless and mobile systems, recently focusing on vehicular networks, WiFi networks with mobility, mobile IoT, and applications of data science for smart mobility. She coordinates the Networked Systems Group and leads Shannon Lab at IT/UP. She is also adjunct coordinator of the Center of Competences for Future Cities at UP, running the UrbanSense environmental sensors and the crowdsensing tool SenseMyCity, which resulted from the FP7 Future Cities project (FP7-REGPOT-2012-2013-1). She lead the national VOCE project on voice stress detection, and participated in more than 15 projects, in 9 of them as co-PI or WP leader. She published more than 60 journal and conference articles, is reviewer for several IEEE transactions and Computer and Communication Societies’ conferences, and expert with the EC (EX2013D158837).
