Roles and Affiliations: José Nuno Oliveira is a Full Professor at the University of Minho's School of Engineering, Department of Computer Science. He is a member of the HASLab (High-Assurance Software Laboratory) and the Formal Methods Europe (FME) Association. He has held roles such as General Chair of the 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods (FM'19) and served on numerous international conference committees. Education: Habilitation in Computing Foundations (2010), University of Minho Ph.D. in Computer Science (1984), University of Manchester, UK M.Sc. in Computer Science (1981), University of Manchester, UK Lic. Eng. Elect. (Digital Systems & Computers) (1978), University of Porto, Portugal Research Interests: Oliveira focuses on formal methods, program calculation, and algebraic programming. His work emphasizes improving software design through mathematical rigor, including applications of relational algebra, functional programming, and program transformation. He has contributed to frameworks like Alloy and QAlloy for software verification. Publications: His recent work spans topics like quantum programming (e.g., quantamorphisms), typed linear algebra for data analysis, and formal methods in education. Over 80 publications include influential papers on Galois connections, metaphorisms, and coalgebraic systems. Awards and Grants: Not explicitly listed, but his leadership roles and extensive conference involvement highlight his recognition in formal methods. Active in projects like IBEX (cyber-physical systems) and TRUST (Alloy-based design). Teaching and Service: Teaches courses on program calculation and formal methods. Serves on editorial boards (e.g., Formal Aspects of Computing ) and chairs international conferences. Active in promoting formal methods education through workshops and training initiatives. Labs and Teams: Co-leads the HASLab (INESC TEC & University of Minho), focusing on high-assurance software systems. Collaborates on projects like EVEREST (railway network verification) and LeanBigData (big data analytics).
