António J. R. Neves was born in Torres Novas, Portugal, in July 1979. He received the Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering degree from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, in 2002 and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Aveiro, in 2007.

Currently, he is an Invited Auxiliary Professor at the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics of the University of Aveiro, and a researcher at the Signal Processing Laboratory and at the Transverse Area on Intelligent Robotics of the Institute of Electronics and Telematics Engineering of Aveiro - IEETA.

His main research interests are image and video coding (lossless coding, pre-processing techniques, images with special characteristics), bioinformatics (Microarray images and DNA coding) and robotics (computer vision and multi-agent robotics). Currently he is the team leader of CAMBADA, the robotic soccer team of the University of Aveiro.
