Course / Discipline taught

Academic session Degree Subject (Type) Institution / Organization
2022/09/01 - Current Product Design 3: "Project discipline with defined and discussed theoretical support contents in the project context. Development of individual projects. The project development process is carried out in four phases: research, concept definition, product development, and communication." Licenciatura em Design Industrial (Licenciatura) Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal
2022/09/01 - Current Modeling and Prototypes: "Understanding the underlying issues in the design of an object (formal expression, function, and structure) and its development in a project. Knowing how to combine the visual expression of different materials with their structural constraints. Balancing the symbolic expression of a design piece with its constructive and operational functionality." Licenciatura em Design Industrial (Licenciatura) Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal
2022/02/01 - Current Project 2: "Project discipline using technique in context and integration of complementary curriculum units content. The Project II discipline focuses on all phases of the Design process through the development of an Industrial Design project." Mestrado em Design Industrial (Mestrado) Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal
2022/02/01 - Current Prototyping: "Additive and subtractive digital manufacturing processes versus traditional modeling technologies. Advantages and limitations of various modeling and prototyping processes and their suitability with the design process. Computer-aided machining programs. Principles and precautions to take in file modeling for rapid prototyping. Object digitization. Engagement with digital manufacturing processes, mainly with FDM 3D printing." Mestrado em Design Industrial (Mestrado) Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal
2020/09 - Current Modeling and Prototyping: "The creation of three-dimensional physical models is essential for the iterative process in Design. It allows for exploring, testing, and understanding proposal problems that cannot be assessed otherwise, beyond vision and sound, when relying solely on two-dimensional or digital three-dimensional drawing. It also enables linking proposals to a user profile in constructing the design problem itself. Additionally, it facilitates adapting and justifying the selection of materials and techniques in model creation." Mestrado em Design do Produto e Espaço (Mestrado) IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação - Universidade Europeia, Portugal
2015/09 - Current Production Design: "Consolidate knowledge regarding formal genesis and the interconnection of form/structure in the 3D domain. Develop the ability to solve three-dimensional design problems with limited technical-technological complexity, at the scale of the hand and body, by considering the various functions of a product. Simple transformation processes. Potentials and constraints of material and production. Stimulate reasoning, ingenuity, creativity, and innovation. Understand the technological context of use and sustainability of a project." Licenciatura em Design (Licenciatura) IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação - Universidade Europeia, Portugal
2009/09 - Current 3D Digital Modeling: "The objective of including 3D digital modeling as a curriculum unit lies in the fact that the use of three-dimensional language has been gaining increasing importance in all fields of Design, from video games to industrial design, and illustration. However, despite the practical nature of this type of knowledge, it is equally important (if not more so) for the development of three-dimensional reasoning, which allows for problem-solving with greater complexity." Licenciatura em Design (Licenciatura) IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação - Universidade Europeia, Portugal
2018/09 - 2020/06 International Seminar: "Exposure to different viewpoints, whether in Design or in any subject relevant to society, is not only desirable but essential for a holistic perspective on the practice of Design research and consequently the development of better professionals and researchers. The International Seminar course promotes the connection between renowned guests in Design, students, and faculty, leveraging critical examination of dominant themes in the international Design landscape." Doutoramento em Design (Doutoramento) IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação - Universidade Europeia, Portugal

Instituto de Arte Design e Empresa Universitário Unidade de Investigação em Design e Comunicação, Portugal
2018/09 - 2019/07 User Studies: "User studies in Design focus on: users, artifacts/services, and context. By the end of this course, the student should be able to: 1) Explain what User Studies are in the context of the Design discipline; 2) Identify various research and analysis methods and tools, as well as their advantages and disadvantages; 3) Plan and produce User Studies, anticipating trends, behaviors, and future scenarios; 4) Synthesize and communicate the collected information clearly and structured." Mestrado em Design de Interação (Mestrado) IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação - Universidade Europeia, Portugal

Instituto de Arte Design e Empresa Universitário Unidade de Investigação em Design e Comunicação, Portugal
2009/10 - 2015/11 Lighting Design: "Presentation of an overview of the importance of Lighting Design in the project context. Develop in the student the ability to critically analyze existing lighting solutions. Develop the creative and technical ability to present conceptual, well-founded lighting design proposals. Foster research skills and the use of critical information to support proposals." Mestrado em Design de Produção (Mestrado) IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação - Universidade Europeia, Portugal
2008/09 - 2012/02 Digital Representation Methods: Development of the ability to interpret objects and spaces and represent them in two dimensions using the codes and norms of Technical Drawing, according to the European Method of Orthogonal Projection. Ability to correctly use digital tools to support Technical Drawing (e.g., AutoCAD). The curriculum unit represents a cornerstone in the Design course, and the program contents are organized to offer the student, from the very beginning, a very strong relationship between theory and practice.
