Participation in research projects
Universidade Lusíada de Vila Nova de Famalicão FCT Project POCTI/EME/59491/2004 - Monitorização Inteligente de Ferramentas de Corte : Involved in various deliverables, mainly those pertaining to computer-based models and simulation, in addition to being a member of the organising committee and moderator/facilitator of the Workshop Máquinas e Ferramentas Supervisão de Processos, which took place on March 29th 2007. Universidade Lusíada de Vila Nova de Famalicão In the context of the continuation of work completed in the UK, funding was obtained in August 2003 for an exploratory visit to Cranfield University under a convention between Portugal (Gabinete de Relações Internacionais da Ciência e do Ensino Superior, GRICES) and the British Council that lead to a scientific and technological cooperation program between Universidade Lusíada and Cranfield University. Cranfield University, UK Took part in a multi-partner project under the 5th Framework Programme (FP5) encompassing a variety of companies and universities in several countries in Europe and involving large amounts of information. The project was coordinated by Cranfield University under the guidance of Prof. John Nicholls, a leading high-temperature surface engineering Cranfield Professor with an international reputation for excellence in research in his area. Integral Vision, Ltd., UK Played a key role in a six man team which has successfully developed a quality control system for aligning printed circuit boards, using machine vision inspection systems.
