Alexandra Moutinho has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and is an Associate Professor of the Scientific Area of Control, Automation, and Industrial Informatics of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DEM) of Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, and a senior researcher of the Centre of Intelligent Systems of IDMEC – Institute of Mechanical Engineering, part of LAETA - Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics. She is Deputy Director for Defence and Security RTD Initiatives at IST, coordinator of the Earth Systems – Oceans to Near-Space research area of the MIT Portugal Programme, and IEEE Senior member. Alexandra Moutinho has (co)authored 3 book chapters, 25 peer-reviewed papers in international journals and 33 peer-reviewed papers in international conferences. The publications cover different topics within the disciplinary field of Control, Automation, and Industrial Informatics, addressing key tools to the service robotics and autonomous vehicles fields, like nonlinear flight control, nonlinear systems modelling, perception, and soft computing. The publications, with national and international collaborations, present both theoretical and experimental contributions, with application to real societal problems like wildfire detection and monitoring, commercial aircraft safe flight and military applications. Over the years, she has coordinated or participated in 3 European projects. She has also been principal investigator (3), unit coordinator (3) and participant (8) in a total of 14 nationally funded projects. Alexandra Moutinho is responsible for the creation and reinforcement of 2 research laboratories dedicated to Mobile Robotics development and testing – the Robotics Arena and the Mobile Robotics Laboratory. The contribution of these facilities to research is complemented with support to teaching activities. She has organized special issues, and workshops and special sessions at international conferences, and chaired and moderated several sessions at international events. She has been invited to provide workshops or tutorials on modelling and simulation of drones at international events and she has participated in the Technical Program Committee of several international conferences. Alexandra Moutinho has taught 23 different courses (being responsible for 7 of them), in 12 different degrees spanning 3 cycles, with involvement at all teaching components (theoretical, practical, laboratorial, tutorial and seminar). Currently taught courses are Control Systems, Advanced Mobile Robotics and Computational Vision. She has been awarded with the Técnico Award for Excellence in Education 9 times. She has also participated in Técnico’s Tutoring Program. She has supervised 1 postdoc and 2 PhDs (1 as primary supervisor) and over 65 MSc students, of which one was awarded the 1st prize of FCT Portugal Air Summit Award in 2019. She is currently supervising 5 PhDs, 3 of them as primary supervisor, and 5 MScs. The supervision of young researchers has been conducted also in the scope of national and international research projects and in collaboration with Industry and research institutions. Alexandra Moutinho actively participates in Técnico’s management bodies. She contributes to technology transfer publishing papers in national conferences and through presentations at international and national events. She has been reviewer for several refereed international journals and conferences over the years. She has participated in national and international PhD evaluation committees and in several national MSc evaluation committees, spanning Aeronautical, Aerospace, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer, Mechanical, and Robotics engineering. She has evaluated projects in both international and national programmes, and she has served as referee of autonomous driving track in international formula student competitions.
