"The relaxed atmosphere, spirit of mutual aid and the exchange of scientific knowledge between colleagues at INESC Porto are all positive factors for me, but it was the projects I have been involved in that have really contributed to my scientific development...", Lucian Ciobanu

Gallery of the Uncommon

Following the analysis of the aesthetics of breasts, the researchers at INESC Porto have turned their attention to the pelvic region. The project is called BioPelvic and consists of a vaginometer which is not to be confused with any other mileage meter. This is a phallic device with sensors and yes ladies, there is a wireless version.

RICARDO ANDRÉ - march

"UOSE suggested to Ricardo the idea of forming a partnership in order to submit a project for the Estímulo à Investigação programme of the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (this was submitted in February). Ricardo was unsurprisingly one of the candidates selected for an award in the area of Physics of Nanostructures and their Applications. (…) There is no doubt that he has a promising future in the world of science." (Manager of UOSE)

Luís Seca - april

“Luís Seca has taken on his role as advisor to the management of the Power Systems Unit (USE) with a great deal of commitment and has shown real quality. He has produced applications for several national and European projects and continues to play an important role in projects that the Unit is involved in at the same time. In March this task took on mind-boggling dimensions and only with real hard work was it all completed. Therefore, his attitude and the results produced should be acknowledged.” (Manuel Matos Manager of USE)
