I joined ICS in the Fall of 2002. Prior to being in ICS, I was a Research Scientist at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. While at PARC, I am most known as a founder of the group that developed Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) and started aspectj.org. More recently, I have also been working in Ubiquitous Computing, with a focus in communication mechanisms that are pervasive, secure and intuitive for humans to perceive and interact with.

The research I do is always related, one way or another, to languages and communication systems. The ultimate goal of my research is to deepen the knowledge about communication, in particular in systems that involve humans and machines. With this goal in mind, I work in software design, programming languages, device-to-device communications and application-specific networking. I have also done some work in security and applications of audio signal processing. I am most interested in computing systems that are still to come, such as those envisioned as Ubiquitous Computing.

I have B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northeastern University, in Boston. I also studied piano and voice, and have sung in choirs such as the San Francisco Symphony Chorus (1999-2002) and the Gulbenkian Choir (1989-1992). I received a National Science Foundation's CAREER Award, 2004-2009. I'm Erdos number 3 (Erdos -> Specker -> Lieberherr -> me).
