    Biography

    Luis Manuel Braga da Costa Campos graduated in 1972 as a Mechanical Engineer from the Instituto
    Superior Tecnico (IST) of Lisbon Technical University. His tutorials as a student (1970) were
    followed by a career at the same institution (IST) through all levels: Assistant (1972), Assistant
    with tenure (1974), Assistant Professor (1978), Associate Professor (1982), Chair de Applied
    Mathematics and Mechanics (1985). He has been coordinator of undergraduate and post-graduate
    degrees in Aerospace Engineering since their creation in 1991. He is also coordinator of the
    Scientific Area of Applied and Aerospace Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and
    director and founder of the Center for Aeronautical and Space Science and Technology.
