Diogo R. Ferreira is an associate professor of information systems at IST, University of Lisbon, and a researcher affiliated with the Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion (IPFN) in Portugal. Since 2014, he has been applying deep learning and GPU computing to the analysis and processing of fusion data from plasma diagnostics, especially at the Joint European Torus (JET) and other EUROfusion devices. His work has been highlighted at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference and has been published in journals such as Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, and Machine Learning: Science and Technology. These often serve as references for other applications of machine learning in the field of plasma physics. He is the author of two books and has supervised 2 PhD students and 30+ MSc students.
