Both ISR-Lisboa and ITI are associate laboratories of LARSyS, currently being the host laboratories for his Doctoral Program. Researching & Developing (R&D) in areas such as HCI, User-Centered Design (UCD), Information Visualization (InfoVis), and HI, understanding and reducing the user burdens of interactive technologies for health professionals, patients, and people with disabilities through the design of future applications. Also lecturing on those areas during this path. Prior to IST, he was part of several Entrepreneurship projects, from Agriculture to Advertisement, building systems for both business areas. He has designed, developed, and evaluated mobile, sensor, and collaborative applications for helping users (e.g., physicians, patients, and so on).

🙌 Helping Others
Contributing to the open source community can be challenging and sometimes terrifying. One particular challenge is how to expose your problem in a clear way. There are a plenty of online articles explaining how to contribute and support the open source community. However, the best way for that, is to understand how could we help the community by giving some examples of Questions & Answers. Next, there are several o my recent examples of helping others through this path.
