Serious Thinking

"Our adventurous spirit must be fed. That is what INESC TEC is made of, otherwise we wouldn’t be pioneers in innovation and excellence. That spirit characterises me also.", Ana Paula Silva (CSIG)

Yeah, we knew that researchers at LIAAD wrote papers, but we did not know they wrote about “science for young children”. They were caught in the act - we went through their shelves and what did we find?

Explain your experience since leaving INESC TEC

After leaving Porto and finishing PhD, I joined Netsuite Czech Republic as a Site Reliability Engineer. NetSuite is a leading cloud ERP company with thousands of customers, thus the goals are uptime, performance and security.

At LIAAD, I worked on data stream mining. My time at INESC TEC has really been key for this new position. It is exciting to see that I can apply in a real large scale environment some of the methods I learned during my stay in Porto.

Rúben Soares

Rúben Soares, REN - Redes Energéticas Nacionais, Network Operator

  • Year when you began working at INESC TEC and when you left: 2014-2015
  • Centre(s) at INESC TEC where you worked: Centre for Power and Energy (CPES)
  • Name(s) of project(s) you were involved in: Energy storage and its potential in power systems; dynamic tariffs.

Explain your experience since leaving INESC TEC

In 2015, I started working at REN as a network operator. My main job is guaranteeing the safety of workers who work on power lines and on REN’s facilities every day. We also guarantee that operation is maintained in the different elements of the network, for instance, in the event of storms or fires.

At INESC TEC I was always encouraged to work autonomously and methodically and that is really important in my current position.

I haven’t left INESC TEC that long ago, so I haven’t formed an opinion on any changes. One thing is for sure: INESC TEC is on the right track at it continues to invest not only in high quality training for people fresh out of college, but also in countless quality projects that allow us to grow as professionals.
