Universidade do Algarve, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia: ... 1988 - 2007 Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia: I was an associate professor (that's the middle rank for university professors in Portugal), form 1988 to 2007. Other than my normal teaching and research activities, I was deputy director of the Faculty from 1988 to 1991 (the director was Prof. Leopoldo Guimarães), and also director of the Computer Center for the Faculty (now called Serviço de Informática), from 1988 to 1993. 1983 - 1988 Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia In Portugal, an assistant that gets a PhD transmutes into a professor, automatically. That's the lowest kind of professor, called "professor auxiliar", and that was my "title" until 1988. I was in charge of courses on Programming. Actually, I wrote a book, called "Pascal - Técnicas de Programação", which was quite popular at the time, and sold 7000 copies. This book was first published in 1988. 1977 - 1983 Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia After I graduated, I had a job as an assistant. Actually, I did not have to work too much. After a year, I went to France, for my PhD and stayed there three years, in Grenoble. I came back in 1981, and since my French PhD was not "recognised" in Portugal, I had to do a new one, in Portugal 1983. Actually, it was just a development of the "invalid one". 1975 - 1977 Universidade Nova de Lisboa After having studied Electrical Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, I moved to the newly created Universidade Nova de Lisboa, to study Informatics. During my last year, I had a job as a "monitor", that is a student who helps younger students with their lab work. 1973 - 1976 Escola Industrial e Comercial de Setúbal, now called Escola Secundária Sebastião da Gama This is a secondary school in Setúbal, a town 40 km south of Lisbon.

I went to Grenoble in 1978, first to get a DEA (diplôme d'études approfondies) in Informatics, which I did in 1979, and then a doctorat de troisième cycle also in Informatics, in 1981. 1975 - 1977 Universidade Nova de Lisboa Having had three years of Electrical Engineering, I moved to the newly created Universidade Nova de Lisboa, to study Informatics. Within two years I got my licenciatura em Engenharia Informática. 1971 - 1975 Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa I was studying Electrical Engineering, but those were hard times. The school was often closed by the authorities to avoid student protest against the political situation. I did not graduate (see above). 1969 - 1970 St George's School, Newport, Rhode Island I did the senior year there, as an AFS exchange student. 1963 - 1971 Liceu de Oeiras, now called Escola Secundária Sebastião e Silva.
