Jorge Belinha graduated in Civil Engineering, and holds an M.Sc. degree in Structural Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, all from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). Since his graduation, he has been an integrated researcher at INEGI, actively participating in international and national research projects, in cooperation with clinical and academic partners. His areas of interest, both in research and teaching, are advanced discretization techniques (high-order finite elements and meshless methods); nonlinear solid mechanics; and bone tissue remodelling analysis. As a result of the research activities he has published several books with international distribution; more than 150 papers in international scientific periodicals with referees; more than 100 book chapters; and he is the author of more than 450 works published in proceedings of conferences. Regarding the pedagogic background, since 2009 he has lectured in FEUP and at the School of Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Porto (ISEP-IPP); several structural mechanics unit courses, such as Classic Mechanics (Static and Dynamics); Solid Mechanics; Continuum Mechanics; Finite Element Methods; Advanced Discretization Techniques; and Biomechanical Simulation. In addition, up to 2023 he has supervised about 80 M.Sc. theses and he is the supervisor of 10 PhD theses.
