Susana Margarida da Silva Vieira is an Associate professor at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, and a Senior researcher at the Center of Intelligent Systems (CIS), IDMEC- IST. Susana Vieira received the MSc and PhD degrees both in Mechanical Engineering in 2005 and 2010, respectively, at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon (now University of Lisbon IST-UL), Portugal. She was a Teaching Assistant at IST, in the Mechanical Engineering department, from 2005 to 2006 and in 2009, she was an Invited teacher at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where she lectured a Master course entitled Computational Intelligence. From September 2014 to March 2015 she was a Visiting Scholar at MIT and a Visiting Researcher at DCI (Division of Clinical Informatics) of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. From 2012 until 2018 she was an invited assistant professor at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa. She has authored or co-authored 42 peer reviewed journal papers with high impact factor, 2 edited books, 13 book chapters, and more than 80 conference papers in the field of computational intelligence. She is h-index 17 with a total of 102 publications and 1138 citations in the ISI Web of Science, h-index 20 with a total of 131 publications and 1570 citations in Scopus and h-index 25 with 2419 citations in Google Scholar. Since her PhD, Susana Vieira supervised 3 PhD students, co-supervised 3 PhD student and supervised or co-supervised more than 50 Master students. She is presently the supervisor of 5 PhD students and co-supervisor of 2 PhD students, and is the supervisor of 9 Master students. She was a member of 4 PhD Committee, 3 PhD CAT committees, and 15 MSc Committees. She is the PI of two FCT projects (iCare4U and AI4Life with total budget of 460 thousand Euros). She has collaborated in 13 national research projects, 2 MPP2030 Seed Projects, 1 international network (Cost Action IC0702 - Combining Soft Computing Techniques and Statistical Methods to Improve Data Analysis Solutions, 2009 - 2012) and one European project as an invited expert and member of the Project Stakeholder Committee (NATCONSUMERS). She was task coordinator in three of the projects. She supervised more than 15 research grants, from which 6 are FCT PhD grants, and 2 post-doc research grants. She has presented five international seminars. Dr. Vieira was an evaluator for the European Union Research Programme in the H2020 FETOPEN RIA Call 2016-1. She was also an evaluator in 2015 for the European Cooperation in Science and Technology framework (COST) and is an ad hoc reviewer for more than 20 high impact journals. She was a guest editor for the special issue "Collaborative Data Science in Healthcare", of the International Journal of Medical Informatics, and for the special issue "Intelligent Sensors in the Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory", of the international journal Sensors. She is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems (IF 9.518) and a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Applied Sciences, MDPI (IF 2.474). She has been a member of the following professional organizations: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE); IEEE Computational Intelligence Society; EUSFLAT. She is a Member of the IEEE Fuzzy Systems Technical Committee (https://cis.ieee.org/technical-committees/fuzzy-systems-technical-committee/fuzzy-systems-tc-members). Susana Vieiras' main research area is Soft Computing; more specifically she works in feature selection, fuzzy modelling, optimization, fuzzy optimization and meta-heuristics. Her research focuses mainly on the development of computational intelligence methods for knowledge data discovery. Recently these methods are being used to identify important factors or features that lead to unfavourable or favourable clinical conditions of patients in Intensive Care Units, and design specific decision models that support clinicians' decisions.
