His work spans Enterprise Architecture, Blockchain Technology, and Interoperability in public and private sectors.

• PhD in Computer Science (2007, Instituto Superior Técnico)
• Master's in Computer Science (2001, Instituto Superior Técnico)
• Lisbon MBA (2015, Católica | Nova)

Research focuses on Enterprise Architecture for governance, blockchain Interoperability mechanisms (e.g., cross-chain transactions, bridge security), and Digital Transformation in government. Key projects include Hermes (fault-tolerant middleware), Harmonia (zero-knowledge proofs for security), and XChainWatcher (attack monitoring in bridges).

His scientific contributions systematically address cross-chain vulnerabilities, GDPR compliance, and real-world applications in healthcare (e.g., MedClick), automotive (car registration), and public administration (cloud assessment tools). He has no explicitly listed awards but drives national policy through contributions to Portuguese laws on ICT Governance, Open Standards, and Digital Identity (e.g., id.gov.pt mobile app).

Advisory work includes PhD and Master’s students, though specific names are not provided. Professional activities emphasize consulting for information systems architecture and shaping EU Digital Identity frameworks (e.g., eIDAS Regulation 2024/1183). Labs/teams include IDSS Lab (INESC-ID) and collaborations with global researchers.
