RESEARCHER ID SCHOLAR

FCT Announces Results of the PT2030 Project Competition in all Scientific Domains

Five of our researchers were awarded funding in this call, from the areas of Organic Electronics, Optics and Photonics, Networks and Services, and Information and Data Sciences (Multimedia Signal Processing).

IT participates in a project that aims to mitigate environmental and human health risks from PFAS contamination

On the day Earth Day is celebrated, it is important to remember that there is no alternative, that there is no planet B. For this very reason, science has joined this mission of contributing to reducing the impact of pollution on the planet. We highlight the ALERT-PFAS project, or Transnational Strategy to Detect and Prevent PFAS Pollution.

Mar2Protect: towards 2030 zero pollution goals

Mar2Protect Project, initiated in 2022, is dedicated to ensuring the reliability of groundwater quality.

Bio

Ricardo Oliveira received the Ph.D. degree in Physics Engineering from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, in 2017 and the M.Sc degree in Biomedical Engineering at University of Coimbra, Portugal in 2010. Ricardo is now a Researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro, Portugal and he develops fiber optic technologies applied to a wide range of sensors and also for short range communications. His main research interests are focused on fiber Bragg gratings and long period gratings, fiber optic interferometers, polymer optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers, fiber post-processing, optical 3D printing, among others.
