Biography

Carla Gonçalves is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Power and Energy Systems in INESC TEC. In 2021, she obtained a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP). She received the M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from FCUP, in 2015. From 2015 to 2019, she was involved in a wide range of energy forecast consulting collaborations between INESC TEC and the industry: REN (Portugal), EDP Renewables (Spain), RTE (France), and EDP Gestão da Produção de Energia (Portugal). Until 2022, she was associated with the H2020 Smart4RES project, and since 2023, she is taking part in the European ENERSHARE and GREEN.DAT.AI projects. Her research has been focused on probabilistic and collaborative forecasting methods, with a special emphasis on renewable energies, data privacy, and monetization. During her scientific career, she has co-authored 13 scientific papers (6 Q1 journals with impact factors between 3.414 and 7.917, and 7 international conference proceedings) and has submitted a patent (currently pending). She also served as an Invited Auxiliary Professor at the University of Porto for two semesters.
