Currently, I am an Associate Professor (tenure) at the University of Madeira, where I teach for the Informatics and Interactive Media Design Masters; researcher of the NOVA Laboratory for Computer Science and Informatics and coordinator of its N-LINCS branch in Madeira, and president of the International Society for Virtual Rehabilitation and co-director of Lifetech Madeira – the quality of life technologies centre of the population of Madeira. Aligned with my teaching activities, my scientific goal is to investigate the use of multimedia, interactive technologies, and robots to exploit them in real world applications, with special emphasis in neuro-rehabilitation systems, educational and entertainment applications.
