She received her PhD in 2003 in Electrical Engineering in the University of Aveiro, being a visiting student at Rice University in 2000 and 2001. She joined the Department of Computer Science of the University of Porto between 2002 and 2004, and she was a Guest Faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, USA, in August 2008, where she performed Faculty Exchange in 2010/2011. Since 2002 she has been leading many national and international projects, and worked closely with telecom operators and OEMs. She has been involved in several FP7 projects (4WARD, Euro-NF, C-Cast, WIP, Daidalos, C-Mobile), EU Coordinated Support Action 2012-316296 "FUTURE-CITIES", EU Horizon 2020 5GinFire, national projects, and CMU-Portugal projects (S2MovingCity, DRIVE-IN with the Carnegie Melon University) and MIT-Portugal Snob5G project. She has been TPC-Chair and organized several international conferences and workshops, such as ACM MobiCom, IEEE Globecom and IEEE ICC. She has also been a reviewer of numerous international conferences and journals, such as IEEE Wireless Communications, IEEE Networks, IEEE Communications. Susana has coordinated the deployment of the largest vehicular network in the world, with ore than 600 vehicles and 60 road side units, in the city of Porto, Portugal, in 2014; and she has been coordenating the Aveiro Tech City Living Lab in Aveiro, Portugal, a city-scale testbed in Aveiro with fiber links spread across 16km. The testbed is a 5G Open-RAN based with 20+ Radio Units SDR, offers wireless technologies with WiFi, V2X and Lora/LoraWAN in 44 smart lampposts and building facades, MEC solutions, and devices like video cameras, LiDARs and traffic radars. She was the founder of Veniam (www.veniam.com), which builds a seamless low-cost vehicle-based internet infrastructure, and she was the winner of the 2016 EU Prize for Women Innovators. Susana is also the co-coordinator of the national initiative of digital competences in the research axis (INCoDe.2030, http://www.incode2030.gov.pt/), belongs to the evaluation committee of the Fundo200M (www.200m.pt) government co-investment and funding), and she is one of the Scientific Directors of CMU-Portugal Programme (http://www.cmuportugal.org/). Her main research interests are in the areas of self-organized networks, in ad-hoc and vehicular network mechanisms and protocols, such as routing, mobility, security and delay-tolerant mechanisms, resource management, and content distribution networks. She regularly acts as an Expert for European Research Programmes.
