(Versão resumida do CV em português)

Nuno Ferreira Neves is Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisboa. He is on the coordination board of the LASIGE research unit, where he leads the research line on Dependable and Secure Decentralized Systems. His main research interests are in dependability and security aspects of distributed systems and networks. He investigates models, protocols and architectures that are suitable for applications with strong resilience requirements, namely applications that need to remain operational despite accidental faults or malicious attacks. The kind of environments that are being contemplated include distributed machine learning, cloud access and systems, and critical cyber-physical systems,.

Currently, he is involved as a researcher in the national project Fast and Energy-efficient Distributed Consensus for Blockchains (SMaRtChain). In the past years, he has contributed to several other security & dependability-related projects at European level, such as SUPERCLOUD, SEGRID, and MASSIF, and nationally, such as SEAL, uPVN, SITAN, DIVERSE, and RITAS.

He is on the steering committee of the IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks. He is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems. He is member of the scientific board of the Centro de Investigação Jurídica do Ciberespaço (CIJIC). Recently, he was chair of IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance (TCFT) (2021-2023). His work has been recognized in several occasions, for example with the IBM Scientific Prize, the Test-of-Time Award award at IEEE DSN, and the Best student paper at Middleware. He has more than 150 publications in book chapters, journals and conferences, and has served on the program committee of more than 130 conferences and workshops.
