INESC TEC researcher highlighted for “exceptional contribution” in the revision of papers
The journal Optics Communications has acknowledged José Manuel Almeida, researcher at INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP), for his “exceptional contribution” in the revision of papers, which has contributed to the “quality of the journal”.
INESC TEC researcher is Best Reviewer in international journal
Paulo Caldas, researcher at INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP) and assistant professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Viana (IPVC), was named Best Reviewer 2015 of the Journal of Optics & Laser Technology, published by Elsevier, for his “excellent work, quality and objectivity in the revision of papers.”
INESC TEC in another mining project
Portugal will be participating in a European project where the goal is to explore, using robots, mines that have been closed and are partially underwater. The project will provide five million euros to build the first robots in the world capable of operating underground, autonomously and remotely. The submersible system will be tested in Portugal, Finland, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.
INESC TEC researcher awarded in conference in the USA
Ana Rita Ribeiro, researcher at INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP) and PhD students at the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP), has been awarded in one of the most prestigious international conferences on lasers and photonics, the SPIE Photonics West, which took place between 13 and 18 February in San Francisco, United States.
INESC TEC researcher awarded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
Vítor Amorim, researcher at INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP), was one of the researchers to receive the “Prémio Estímulo à Investigação 2015” (award to foster research), awarded in November by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. This award distinguishes annually the research proposals with high creative potential in different scientific areas.
INESC TEC organises 1st Physics Engineering and Experimental Physics Conference
INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP) is organising the 1st Physics Engineering and Experimental Physics Days (JEFFE),which will take place on 19 February at the Physics and Astronomy Department (DFA) of the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP).
INESC TEC develops technology that monitors frying oils using optical systems and smartphones
A unique technology in the world, made in Portugal, will make it possible to control the quality of frying oils using optical and software systems that register and monitor data through smartphones. The R&D project brought together INESC TEC, AMBIFOOD, the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Porto (FFUP) and ASAE’s Chemistry Lab.
INESC TEC and FCUP organise “Science Fiction Week”
Science in science fiction is the motto for the “SYFY Scientific Review – Science Fiction Week”, which will include one day of films and another day of lectures and discussions. The event is organised by INESC TEC and the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP), and will take place on 17 and 18 September, at FCUP.
INESC TEC participates in project to control quality of frying oils
INESC TEC’s Centre for Information Systems and Computer Graphics (CSIG) and Centre for Applied Photonics are involved in a project – together with AMBIFOOD, the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Porto (FFUP) and ASAE’s (health and safety authority) Chemistry Laboratory – where the goal is to create technology to control the quality of frying oils. This work has an impact on public health as there is a causal link between the ingestion of oils used for frying food, their degradation, and the emergence of certain pathologies.
INESC TEC researcher receives merit award
On 28 May, Duarte Viveiros, researcher at INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP), received a merit award from the University of Madeira following his master’s dissertation titled Sistema sensor em fibra ótica para deteção de gases (optical fibre sensing system to detect gases).
INESC TEC researchers develop Bragg network using innovative methods
Now that 20 years have passed since Francisco Araújo, researcher at INESC TEC’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP), developed the first Bragg network in April 1994 (see Figure 1), the CAP researchers Paulo Marques (coordinator) and Daniel Alexandre fabricated the first Bragg network using a femtosecond laser (impulses lasting 200x10-15s, that is, one millionth of one billionth of a second), purchased recently as part of the BEST CASE (Figure 2) project.
