José Figueiredo
Current research interests:
- Design and characterization of electronic and optoelectronic devices incorporating low dimensional structures.
- Optoelectronic integrated circuits for telecommunication.
- Nonlinear dynamics of electronic and optoelectronic devices and circuits for communications based on chaos.
- Remote sensing and terahertz technologies.
Short bio
Degree in Physics (Optics and Electronics) at University of Porto, Porto, in 1991; thesis on holographic optical elements aberration correction with an intermediate computer generated hologram, at Vrije Universiteit Brussels, under the ERAMUS Programme.
From October 1991 to September 1992, I was with Universidade Lusíada, Famalicão, Portugal, teaching courses in Electronics.
From 1992-1995, I was with INESC Optoelectronics Centre, Porto, Portugal, working on modelling of polymeric passive integrated optical component for wavelength division multiplexing.
Master in Optoelectronics and Lasers in February 1995; thesis on wavelength division multiplexing integrated optical devices.
From 1995 to 1999, I was with the Department of Physics of University of Porto and with the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering of University of Glasgow, Scotland, as a Ph.D. student in cotutelle, working on the optoelectronic properties of resonant tunnelling diodes. The technology developed was licensed to Essient Photonics Ltd, a spin-out from Glasgow University, launched in 2002.
Member of the Physics Department of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology at the University of the Algarve, from 1999 to 2017 and, from May 2012 to December 2014, Executive Director of the Algarve Ciência Viva Centre (Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve: a science exhibition center aiming to promote science and technology through thought-provoking, fun, exciting and interactive experiences in an inspiring, friendly and safe environment, that challenge all to explore and understand the world around them.
