Since January 2002, he is member of the National Coordination Commission on Optical Communications of IT.
He has been leader of the IST participation or of the Lisbon site of IT in six projects of the European Union programs on R&D in the optical communications area. He has been leader of several national projects in the optical communications area. He is the leader of IST-IT participation in the cooperation project with Brazil in the area of optical networks.
In the past few years, he has acted as a technical auditor and evaluator for projects included in “Advanced Communications Technologies and Services: european RTD” (ACTS) and “Information Society Technologies” (IST) European Union R&D Programs.
He has served as a reviewer for the following international publications in the area of optical communications and networks: IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, IEE Electronics Letters, IEE Proceedings Part J – Optoelectronics, Optics Letters, Optics Express, Optics Communications, and IEEE Transactions on Communications. He is a senior member of the IEEE Laser and Electro-Optics Society. He has authored or co-authored more than 50 journal publications (15 as first author) as well as more than 80 international conference papers. He is co-author of two international patents.
