António J. R. Neves
From IEETA
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 Assistant Professor (Professor Auxiliar) at the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Informatics of the University of Aveiro (DETI), and a researcher at the Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro (IEETA). He is the current Director of the Master in Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering.
Prof. António J. R. Neves participates in various projects involving computer vision, robotics, and intelligent systems, some of them still ongoing. He supervised 4 PhD students and more than 50 MsC students, being currently supervising 2 PhD students and 6 MsC students. During the last 12 years he was Professor on more than 20 different courses, and Coordinator Professor in several of them, in the areas of Informatics, Signal Processing and Robotics.
He is an IEEE Senior Member and member of several other research organizations worldwide, namely IEEE RAS, INSTICC, ATINER, SPR, among others. He is a reviewer for several journals in robotics and signal processing, organized 7 conferences or special sessions and served as a member of Scientific/Technical Committees for more than 100 conferences/workshops.
His main research interests are computer vision and intelligent systems. He also has interests in image and video coding, robotics and bioinformatics.
