Nuno Fachada is an Assistant Professor at Universidade Lusófona - Centro Universitário de Lisboa (UL-CUL) and a researcher at CTS research unit. He is currently teaching Programming and Artificial Intelligence at the Videogames Bachelor of Arts (of which he is also the Vice-Director) and Research Software at the Informatics PhD program. Nuno's main research interests lie in Research Software, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Modeling and Simulation, High-Performance Computing and Computer Science Education. He completed his degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in 2005, and went on to pursue a master degree (M.Sc.) in the same institute on the topic of immune system simulation, from which he graduated in 2008. During this period Nuno was a teaching assistant at IST, lecturing subjects such as Programming, Digital Systems, Microprocessors and Computer Architectures. He successfully defended his PhD thesis in 2016 (IST), entitled "Agent-Based Modeling on High Performance Computing Architectures", for which he was awarded the maximum grade "Pass with Distinction and Honour". After a year as a postdoctoral researcher at LaSEEB/ISR, Nuno moved to his current position at UL-CUL.
