Bio

[PT] Paulo Almeida, nasceu em Viseu, e obteve o grau de Licenciatura em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores (pré-bolonha) em 2007, pela Universidade de Coimbra. Desde de 2007 é investigador no Instituto de Telecomunicações - pólo de Coimbra. Em 2009 obteve o mestrado integrado pela Universidade de Coimbra, inserido no projecto RoFnet. Desde final de 2009 a 2014 foi estudante de doutoramento em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores no ramo de especialidade Telecomunicações na Universidade de Coimbra. Enquanto estudante de doutoramento, foi investigador visitante no Laboratório de Telecomunicações da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Brasil. No ano de 2016, foi investigador de pós-doutoramento no Instituto FOTON (http://foton.cnrs.fr/v2016/?lang=fr), da Universidade de Rennes 1, França. Após este período em França, regressou a Portugal e desde de fevereiro de 2017 é investigador de pós-doutoramento no Instituto de Telecomunicações - pólo de Coimbra. Desde setembro de 2018, ele é um Professor auxiliar convidado na Universidade de Coimbra.
É membro do IEEE e da sua sociedade de fotónica bem como membro da OSA, sendo revisor das principais revistas da sua área de especialização.

[EN] Paulo Almeida, was born in Viseu, Portugal and obtained the Licenciatura (5 years degree) (bachelor's) degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2007 from the University of Coimbra. Since 2007, he is a researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações – pole of Coimbra. In 2009, he obtained the master's degree from the University of Coimbra, integrated in the RoFnet project. From the end of 2009 to 2014 he was a doctoral student in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the specialty of Telecommunications at the University of Coimbra. As a doctoral student, he was a visiting researcher at the Telecommunication Laboratory of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil. In 2016, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the FOTON Institute (http://foton.cnrs.fr/v2016/?lang=fr), University of Rennes 1, France. After this period in France, he returned to Portugal and since February 2017 he has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações – pole of Coimbra. Since september 2018, he has been an invited assistent professor at the University of Coimbra.
He is a member of IEEE and his Photonics Society as well as a member of OSA, being a reviewer of the main journals in his area of expertise.
