Sérgio Ramos got the MSc (2006) and PhD (2015) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Lisbon - IST Portugal. He is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Engineering (ISEP) of the Polytechnic of Porto (IPP) and, since 2021, director of the Bachelor Program in Electrical Engineering - Electrical Power Systems at ISEP/IPP. From 2018 to 2020, he was deputy director of the Electrical Engineering Department of ISEP. He is a researcher in the GECAD research group. His main research interest includes knowledge discovery in databases, including the application of data mining and forecasting techniques, optimization and scheduling of energy resource management, smart buildings, energy communities, and shared PV generation. He participated in a significant number of national and international R&D projects, collaborating with academia and industry partners and contributing with his expertise mainly in data mining application techniques and renewable energy resource optimization. He has actively participated in preparing project proposals and, in 2018, successfully got funding through the FCT, including BENEFICE (PTDC/EEI-EEE/29070/2017) as PI, achieving scientific breakthroughs in smart buildings optimization, namely considering flexible power contracts, and SPET (PTDC/EEI-EEE/29165/2017) as CO-PI, addressing a comprehensive view of the cyber-physical infrastructure of consumers and producers for trusted market participation. Sérgio is also the coordinator of the SATCOMM project (EAPA_0019/2022) funded by Interreg Atlantic Area (EU) to provide real energy pilots in the Atlantic area, namely sustainable Atlantic energy communities, assuming the responsibility of one Work Package. He won 2 grants, one to collaborate with Centro Tecnológico ENERGYLAB - Eficiencia Energética Y Sostenibilidad - Universidade de Vigo, Spain (Iacobus ID88, 2021), where research experiences were exchanged about smart buildings, by exploring resources optimization in buildings context, and with Universidade da Coruña (Iacobus ID84, 2023), Spain, where the use of data analysis and optimization methods were explored. He has coordinated a team of 6 researchers and 2 master students with scholarship in the topic of smart buildings and supervising 2 PhD (ongoing) concerning the topics of telecommunications infrastructures in buildings and energy communities, 29 MSc, 6 ERASMUS students, and 116 BSc degrees. His efforts are reflected in the publication of over 140 scientific papers, including 20 in international scientific journals, 36 in technical magazines, 6 book chapters, a Technical/Pedagogical book (2018), and 81 conference papers. He has contributed to renowned international conferences as a technical and scientific committee member and reviewed papers for over 23 journals (over 100 scientific paper revisions). He also has contributed to the scientific community through editorial roles, launching 3 special issue editions as co-editor in JCR journals. These contributions have received over 1100 citations with h-index 19 and i10-index 33. His achievements have been recognized with various awards and prizes ("Premio REN 2008", Scientific Publication Merit from IPP, 2011, 2015, 2023). He has also cooperated in organizing technical events, including workshops and seminars, and was invited to speech in master's course classes to disseminate project outcomes. He was invited Professor at UNESP – Campus de Ilha Solteira (2023) Brazil, disseminating project outcomes, covering topics such as the application of DM techniques in power systems and sharing PV generation in buildings considering energy storage systems. He was also a qualifying trainer in electrical installations courses (HV and LV) in OERN, 2021/22. He is also general secretary from IPP at ATHENA European University and a member of the working group on Sustainable and Smart Cities of the CARPE Network meetings.
