bio and contacts

Miguel Correia is a Full Professor (Professor Catedrático) at the Computer Science and Engineering Department (DEI), Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa (ULisboa), in Lisboa, Portugal. He is currently DEI's Head of Department. He is a member of the Board and senior researcher at INESC-ID, as well as member of the Distributed, Parallel and Secure Systems (DPSS) research area. He is national representative at the European Blockchain Partnership that is designing the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI). He is a non-executive member of the Board of Associação .PT. He is Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Computers. He has a PhD in Computer Science from the Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Ciências. He has been involved in several international and national research projects related to cybersecurity, including the ACES, TRUSTyFOOD, DE4A, BIG, QualiChain, SPARTA, SafeCloud, PCAS, TCLOUDS, ReSIST, CRUTIAL, and MAFTIA European projects. He has more than 200 publications and is Senior Member of the IEEE. His research focuses on cybersecurity and dependability (aka fault tolerance) in distributed systems and in the context of different applications (blockchain, cloud, mobile).
