Hello, my name is Nuno, and I truly enjoy doing research, which is something that doesn't happen very frequently, mostly because I'm currently managing three european research projects (COST IC1303, ECOPRIS and R2PRIS). Nevertheless, I'm always looking for new and interesting research and cooperation opportunities.
