Nuno Guimarães is a Full Professor at ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, affiliated with the Department of Information Science and Technology in the School of Technology and Architecture. He is also an Integrated Researcher at ISTAR-Iscte, where he leads the 'Digital Living Spaces' research group. He previously served as Dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Lisbon (2003–2009), Pro-Rector (2012–2013), and Vice-Rector (2014–2018) at ISCTE-IUL, demonstrating extensive academic leadership.
- Aggregation in Computing, University of Lisbon (1999)
- PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon (1992)
- MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Instituto Superior Técnico (1987)
- BSc in Electrical Engineering, Instituto Superior Técnico (1983)
His research focuses on human-machine interaction, user experience, and the intersection of digital technologies with law, rights, and cultural diversity. He explores how technology can be designed to be more inclusive, ethical, and cognitively supportive, often using neurophysiological methods such as EEG to assess usability and mental workload.
His recent publications (2024–2009) show a consistent trajectory in interdisciplinary research combining computer science, cognitive science, and legal informatics. Key themes include data privacy in microservices, normative systems in digital society, EEG-based usability analysis, and interactive learning environments. The works demonstrate a strong emphasis on practical tools, real-world applications, and the societal implications of digital technologies.
- ACM Senior Member (since 2012)
- Chair of the Board of ISOC (PT) (2021–2025)
Guimarães has held numerous academic management roles, including Director of ISTAR-Iscte and the Master’s program in Information Systems Management. While no direct student advising list is provided, his extensive collaborations and leadership in research projects suggest active mentorship. His work bridges technical innovation with social responsibility, particularly in digital rights and inclusive design.
He has led and contributed to research in areas such as interactive architecture, media façades, digital talking books, and judicial dialogue systems. His team, 'Digital Living Spaces,' focuses on creating intelligent, adaptive environments that respond to human behavior and cognitive states, integrating insights from architecture, computing, and neuroscience.
