António Manuel Couto Carneiro works as a research and teaching assistant at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto. He is a member of the Computational Multi-Scale Modelling of Solids and Structures Research Group (CM2S), focused on studying the constitutive behaviour of complex heterogeneous materials and interfaces and distinct length scales, within a multiscale coupled nonlinear finite element framework at large strains. The main scientific areas encompassed by the research of António Carneiro are computational contact mechanics, rough contact and contact computational homogenisation approaches. Scientific investigation on these subjects rely strongly on code design and programming skills, together will a solid knowledge on nonlinear solid mechanics and several branches of mathematics, not to mention tenacity, critical analysis and teamwork.
