Research Interests

At CEMAPRE - the Centre for Applied Mathematics and Economics at ISEG, I am now launching, together with some colleagues, new research on ab initio Economics with agent-based models.

At SQIG - the Security and Quantum Information Group at IT (formerly CLC at IST), I lead the Quantum Information sub-group (task 5), where we develop research on quantum information theory, entanglement in condensed matter, quantum cryptography, quantum computation, quantum walks and foundations of quantum physics.


At SiW - Scientists in the World, I develop several projects to promote scientific litteracy and low-technology transfer in developing countries, as well as to innovate science teaching.
