João Filipe de Castro Cardoso Ferreira Ferreira joined Nottingham Trent University (NTU, UK) in 2018 where he is currently a Senior Lecturer in Computing. He was an Invited Assistant Professor from 2011 to 2017, and an Invited Teaching Assistant in Electrical Engineering and Computers at the University of Coimbra from February to September 2011. He was a Probationary Teaching Assistant (Assistente Estagiário) in the same area and at the same university from 2002 to 2004. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Coimbra, specialisation in Instrumentation and Control, in July 2011. He received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Coimbra (FCTUC), specialisation in Automation and Robotics, in January 2005. He received his Electrical Engineering B.Sc. degree (5-year course, specialisation in computers) from the same faculty, in July 2000. João Filipe Ferreira is currently a member of the Computational Intelligence and Applications research group (CIA) at NTU, and also an integrated member of the Institute of Systems and Robotics (ISR), a research institute of the University of Coimbra. His main research interests concern the broad scientific themes of Artificial Perception and Cognition. Within these themes, the following topics receive his main focus: probabilistic modelling of perception, perception and sensing for field robotics in precision forestry and agriculture, and bioinspired perception and cognition for social robotics, co-robotics and human-robot interaction. However, his research interests are not limited to these subjects: over the years, he has also produced contributions in medical image processing and 3D scanning. He is the main author of the 2014 textbook “Probabilistic Approaches for Robotic Perception” (Springer STAR series). He is a member of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society since 2012 (RAS – Executive Committee member of the Portuguese Chapter from 2014 to 2018), and a member of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics since 2015, and member of the Technical Committee on Agricultural Robotics, TC AgRA, since 2019. He is also a member of the British Computer Society since 2019. He has been involved in several FP6, FP7 and H2020 European projects developed in consortium over the past few years and principal investigator (PI) of several nationally-funded projects. João Filipe Ferreira has been leader of several undergraduate and graduate modules (including a doctorate studies module), having lectured to and mentored over 2,000 undergraduate and 30 graduate students since his first lecture. Following an integrated approach to teaching and research, he has also supervised/co-supervised a total of 5 undergraduate students, 11 M.Sc. students, 3 Ph.D. students and a post-doctoral fellow, either as a dissertation advisor, as a temporary supervisor during a visiting spell, or as a principal investigator. He was also a member of over 20 M.Sc. and 1 Ph.D. (thesis proposal) examining committees.
