Curriculum Vitae

RUI PAULO PINTO DA ROCHA

Rui P. Rocha (born 1973) is a tenured Associate Professor at University of Coimbra, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), a permanent researcher of the Institute of Systems and Robotics - University of Coimbra and an integrated member of the Advanced Production and Intelligent Systems (ARISE) Associated Laboratory. His research interests focus on the development of multi-robot systems and robot swarms endowed with cooperative perception, decentralized coordination and resilient autonomy, to be applied in service and assistive robotics, disaster response, ecology, industry, and logistics, for the benefit of humanity and sustainability. He has been involved in several FP6, FP7 and H2020 EU-funded and nationally funded R&D projects developed in consortium. He has been the principal investigator (PI) of 4 of these projects, which have addressed robot teams for urban search and rescue, multi-robot patrolling of buildings, and socially assistive robots. He is the co-author of ca. 100 articles and papers indexed in Scopus, which were published in ISI-indexed scientific journals, book chapters, and international conference proceedings. He has had an intense editorial activity, serving regularly as editor and reviewer in top-tier scientific journals and conferences on Robotics and has also served in the organisation of several conferences and thematic tracks on Intelligent Robotics. He has been the advisor of a significant number of MSc dissertations and PhD theses centered in his research interests for the past decade. Two PhD theses and 28 MSc dissertations were successfully concluded under his supervision. He is currently the advisor of 2 PhD students and 5 MSc students. He has taught a variety of subjects on ECE, including autonomous mobile robotics, cognitive robotics, industrial automation, programming languages, data structures and algorithms, software engineering, electronics, digital systems, and microprocessors. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Member of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multi-Robot Systems. He received the pre-Bologna Engineering, M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in ECE from Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto in 1996, 1999 and 2006, respectively. Before joining the University of Coimbra in 2000, he had begun his academic career as a junior teaching assistant at University of Minho, Department of Informatics, where he taught digital systems and microelectronics between Nov. 1998 and Feb. 2000. He began his career as an electrical engineer in the Automation and Robotics division of the EFACEC company, where he worked between Oct. 1996 and Jan. 2000 in the development of automated material handling devices based on automated guided vehicles, and participated in the design of such systems for important customers, such as Bank of China in Hong Kong and Repsol YPF refinery in Argentina.
