João Paulo Carvalho received the Licenciado (1992), Mestre (MSc - 1996) and Doutor (PhD - 2002) degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, where he is currently a Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computation. He has taught courses on Computational Intelligence, Distributed Systems, Computer Architectures and Digital Circuits since 1998. He is also a researcher at INESC-ID Lisboa since 1991, where until 2008 he was with the Soft Computing group, and currently is a senior researcher at L2F – Spoken Language Systems Laboratory. His main research interests involve applying Computational Intelligence techniques to solve problems in non-computing related areas.
He has authored over 50 papers in international scientific Journals, book chapters and peer-reviewed conferences.
