Biography

C. Marques: Expertise on optical fiber sensors and optical devices for optical communications and sensing. He received the Ph.D. degree in Physics Engineering from the UA, Portugal, in 2013. He was a Marie Curie (MC) Fellow in the Aston Institute of Photonics Technologies, Aston University, U.K until March 2016. After that, he was a Research Scientist (Assistant and Principal Researcher (CEEC))in the Physics Department & I3N, University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal. Currently, he is Professor in Physics Department, University of Aveiro, Portugal, and full member of CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, Portugal. Also, he is researcher of REFRESH project at VSB Technical University of Ostrava, Department of Physics. His work is focused in Sensors and Devices. His main interests include innovative optical devices and structures for sensing, integrated optics, low cost interrogation systems, eHealth, aviation, data acquisition, predictive analytics and optical transmission data. He authored or co-authored 4 books, 7 book chapters, 250+ journal peer-review papers, more than 100 conference papers with emphasis on optical communications, data processing and sensing. According to Google Scholar, journal/conference articles have received 10000+ citations (h-index: 73). He was an organization member of IMOC2019 conference, he was an organizing member of AOP2024 and he will be the chair of EWOFS2027 in Aveiro. He was awarded with several awards. Also, he is an Associate Editor of prestigious scientific journals like OSA Optics Express, IEEE Sensors Journal, Opto-Electronic Advances, Optical Fiber Technology (Elsevier) and acts also as referee of several high level international journals, receiving awards by review quality. He is a regular expert evaluator of international research projects of different countries such as Romania (UEFISCDI agency), Belgium (F.R.S.-FNRS), UK (via Multiply project - Marie Curie actions), Portugal (ANI), Serbia ( Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, Fond za nauku agency) and Poland (NCN agency). He is a regular TPC member of some conferences of Optics and Photonics field, and he is regular invited to be session chairman in some international conferences. Last 10 years, he participated/ leaded in several research projects including national projects from FCT agency, European projects including Marie Curie actions (Individual Fellowship, ITN), FET, and other international from Brazil (CAPES, FAPES, CNPq, etc. Currently, he is the coordinator professor of Technologies for Aerospace Energy Systems and Space Optical Systems from Aerospace Engineering degree. He was/is coordinator professor of Optical Technologies, Lasers and Photonics, from Physics Engineering doctoral programme, Physics Engineering Integrated Master, respectively, and also lecturer in Mechanics and Oscillations, also in practical laboratory of Sensors & Actuators as well as electronics instrumentation for Physics from Physics Engineering degree and Master. He was/is supervisor of +70 research fellows (pos-doc and junior investigators), PhD students, master students and Bsc students.
