Back in 1996 I graduated in Electrical and Computer Engineering from FEUP, in Porto.

I got my M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, where I studied from 1996 to 2000.  During that time I was working in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in conformance testing CANopen implementations.

In 2001 I joined the Departamento de Informática  at Universidade do Minho.

In the last few years my research interests have shifted towards cryptography and security, which I also teach. During the first semester of 2005 I was visiting the Information Security and Cryptography group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol.

Here is a list of my recent publications. .

Here are links to the modules I teach: Criptografia Aplicada, Paradigmas da Programação 1/Programação Funcional, Criptografia MECOM
