Gustavo Paneiro

Gustavo Paneiro is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mineral and Energy Resources Engineering, part of the School of Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon). He is affiliated with the CERENA - Center for Natural Resources and Environment research unit. His research focuses on geomechanics, rock mass stability, tunneling engineering, and environmental geotechnics, with particular emphasis on vibration analysis, acoustic emission techniques, and subsurface resource characterization.

Teaching responsibilities include advanced courses such as 'Computational Geomechanics,' 'Spatial Uncertainty Modeling,' and 'Instrumentation and Signal Acquisition in Geoengineering.' His work integrates theoretical modeling with field data analysis, addressing challenges in mining engineering, infrastructure development, and heritage material preservation.

Key research trends from his publications include:

• Quantitative analysis of rock behavior under varying stress/temperature conditions
• Vibration prediction and control in tunneling and blasting operations
• Machine learning applications for geospatial and material science problems
• Development of novel methodologies for subsurface stability assessment

He has contributed to projects involving environmental impact studies, mine pillar design, and the optimization of geotechnical support systems. His work bridges academic research with practical engineering solutions for complex subsurface projects.
