Short Biography
ANTÓNIO DOURADO ,  UNIVERSITY  OF COIMBRA,  PORTUGAL
Full Professor (Professor Catedratico) of FCTUC/Scientific Director of Soft Computing and Automation Group of Center for Informatics and Systems of the University of Coimbra (CISUC), since 2002.
Before, since 1989, has been assistant, Auxiliary Professor, Associate Professor in Informatics Engineering and Electrical Engineering Departments, University of Coimbra.
Has been and is teaching courses on Systems Engineering, Automatic Control, Instrumentation, Fuzzy Systems, Neural Networks, Theory of Computation, General Management, to Engineering Students and MsC Students, in Informatics Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
Has been adviser of 15 MsC Theses and was or is adviser of 8 PhD theses.
Has been and is involved in national projects (in collaboration with industry) and international projects at European level (included some Networks of Excellence).
He is the coordinator of the European project EPILEPSIAE- Evolving Platform for improving the Living Expectations of Patients Suffering from Ictal Events.
He is author or co-author of more than 200 international publications in referred journals, book chapters and conferences.
He is member of IEEE (Computational Intelligence Society, System Man and Cybernetic Society, Automatic Control Society, Management Society) and has been co-founder of European Control Association and Portuguese Association of Automatic Control (IFAC National Member).
He has been member of numerous International Scientific Program Committees and has been reviewer of several International Journals.
