João Fortuna (G1)
Head of Ocean Technology
CEiiA - Centre of Engineering and Product Development
Porto, Portugal
I work on marine robots to understand the Ocean.
About me
Having earned an MSc in Robotics Engineering, my professional journey over the last decade has been dedicated to working with autonomous and unmanned systems. Throughout this time, I conducted extensive research and development at various institutions, culminating in the pursuit of a Ph.D. in Hyperspectral Remote Sensing. My specific areas of interest lie in the fields of robotics and unmanned systems, particularly focused on environmental and ocean remote sensing. In 2020, I joined CEiiA and currently hold the position of leading the technology department at CEiiA's Ocean Unit. This role allows me to further contribute to cutting-edge advancements in technology, particularly in the realm of ocean exploration and conservation.
