Prof. António Moreira received a Ph. D. in Experimental Combustion from Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon where he is currently an Associate Professor with Habilitation at the Mechanical Engineering Department and researcher in the Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research (IN+). His main academic and research interests are in the areas of Thermofluids, Combustion and Energy Systems, having developed research on the use of advanced techniques for fluid dynamics studies. Recent research activities focus on the multi-scale transport phenomena occurring at solid-liquid interfaces with innovative potential for multidisciplinary application domains. In this area, he founded the Laboratory of Micro Scale Interfacial Phenomena at the Mechanical Engineering Department of IST. He coordinated and/or participated in multiple R&D projects in energy and micro-fluidics and has published more than 200 research papers in conference proceedings and journals with peer review. In addition to serving on the Organizing Committee of several International Conferences in fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, he has been a member of the Scientific Council of the ICHMT and Chairman of the International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics since 2005. He has also been active in the area of automotive propulsion, coordinating European projects of technology development and directing and more recently an industrial association of the sector.
