Cláudio Maia is a Lecturer and Integrated PhD Researcher at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Porto and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Porto (2018). His research focuses on real-time systems, including real-time operating systems, hypervisors, multiprocessor architectures, and scheduling theory. He has contributed to advancements in task scheduling for multiprocessor platforms, resource contention analysis, and WCRT (Worst-Case Response Time) methodologies. His work has been published in venues such as RTCSA, RTNS, and DATE, and includes a Best Paper award at ICESS 2021. He is affiliated with the CISTER Research Centre, where he collaborates on projects involving embedded systems, real-time critical CPS, and automotive systems integration. His recent research explores memory and bus contention analysis in real-time task models, with applications to multiprocessor systems and industrial automation.
