Nuno Fachada

Summary

Nuno Fachada is an Assistant Professor at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias (ULHT) and a researcher at COPELABS research unit at the same University, while also collaborating with HEI-Lab (ULHT) and LaSEEB/ISR (Instituto Superior Técnico/IST) research units. He is currently teaching Programming and Artificial Intelligence at the Videogames Bachelor of Arts (of which he is also the Vice-Director) and Research Software at the Computer Science PhD program. Nuno's main research interests lie in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Modeling and Simulation, High Performance Computing and Computer Science Education. He completed his degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from IST in 2005, and went on to pursue a master degree (M.Sc.) in the same institute on the topic of immune system simulation, from which he graduated in 2008. During this period Nuno was a teaching assistant at IST, lecturing subjects such as Programming, Digital Systems, Microprocessors and Computer Architectures. He successfully defended his PhD thesis in 2016 (IST), entitled "Agent-Based Modeling on High Performance Computing Architectures", for which he was awarded the maximum grade "Pass with Distinction and Honour". After a year as a postdoctoral researcher at LaSEEB/ISR, Nuno moved to his current position at COPELABS/ULHT.
