Luís Gonçalo Lecoq Vences e Costa Cancela is an Associate Professor at ISCTE-IUL (Higher Institute of Labor and Business Sciences), where he is affiliated with the Department of Information Science and Technology (ISTA). He is also an Integrated Researcher at the Institute of Telecommunications - IUL, contributing to the Optical Communications and Photonics Group. His academic roles include past leadership as Deputy Director of both the Department and the Institute, and active participation in scientific and pedagogical committees. PhD in Information Sciences and Technologies, ISCTE-IUL (2008) Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Higher Technical Institute - UTL (1998) Bachelor’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Higher Technical Institute - UTL (1993) His research centers on optical communications, particularly the modeling and mitigation of physical layer impairments in optical networks. He investigates crosstalk, coherent multipath interference (MPI), and the performance of differential phase-shift keying (DPSK, DQPSK) systems. His work supports the design and optimization of reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) and multi-band (C+L+S) optical networks, with a strong emphasis on impairment-aware planning and signal quality assessment. His recent publications focus on advanced modeling techniques such as Gaussian noise models and skew-normal distributions to evaluate transmission reach and signal degradation. He explores algorithmic solutions like graph coloring and tabu search for wavelength assignment and analyzes the cost, power, and performance tradeoffs in next-generation ROADM architectures. His work is frequently published in journals like Optical Fiber Technology and presented at major conferences including ICTON and IEEE Photonics Conference. Scientific Awards: No specific awards mentioned in the provided text. He has advised students and contributed to academic management, including serving as ECTS Coordinator. He collaborates extensively with researchers such as J. Pires and J. Rebola. His email is affiliated with ISCTE-IUL. There is no indication of part-time status, retirement, or former staff status.
