Limelight

In a universe with over 800 employees, there are many months when the performance of various collaborators should be highlighted. Proof of that is the fact that oftentimes more than one person is nominated each month. Because of that we had to change our editorial criteria: now, instead of featuring just one employee every month, BIP features all nominees.


January

José Miguel Almeida

José Miguel Almeida (CROB)

The Coordinators of the Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CROB) stated: “The Coordinators of CROB have agreed to nominate José Miguel Almeida to the Limelight section for his contribution to CROB’s strategic vision, and for his hard, quality work in different projects, namely in Icarus, Sunny and Turtle. He has also played a fundamental role in some of the Centre’s contracts, particularly in contract Scan. We would also like to stress his participation in various winning proposals as part of project VAMOS, the RawMatters KIC, and the TEC4SEA initiative.”

Dewan Fayzur

Dewan Fayzur (CPES)

The Coordinators of the Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES) stated: “Dewan Fayzur has been working at CPES in renewable energy forecasting, and is now working on the European project SuSTAINABLE and in a direct contract with REN (Redes Energéticas Nacionais; Portuguese energy company). Within this last project, he has successfully developed and installed a probabilistic forecast software for special regime production, suited to the demands of the power system management. With great commitment, team spirit and sense of responsibility, he met very demanding deadlines and delivered high quality work.”

Luís Pessoa (CTM)

The Coordinators of the Centre for Telecommunications and Multimedia (CTM) stated: “We would like to nominate Luís Pessoa for the Limelight section for his involvement in the successful preparation of European research projects.
