Some of these sources are: European Union (EU – FP7 and CIP), ESRC, British Academy, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP), Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), UK India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), The Scottish Accountancy Trust for Education and Research (SATER), South East England Development Agency (SEEDA), International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), Intellectual Property Office (IPO), Institute for Small Business and Enterprise's Research and Knowledge Exchange Fund (ISBE).

My research interests broadly lie in signal processing and pattern recognition with applications to image/video analysis and communication systems. My research is focused on developing novel algorithms and techniques to analyze the content of signals and to extract meaningful information from multitude of sensors including but not limited to visible and infra-red cameras, microphones, passive infra-red sensors, vibration sensors and spectrum sensors for wireless communications.

CRIA is an inter-institutional Centre devoted to advanced training and research in social and cultural anthropology, founded in 2007, and based on pre-existing long-term and productive cooperative relationships between scholars from four top Portuguese universities (ISCTE-IUL, FCSH-UNL, FCT-UC, UM). In three years, CRIA has become a national platform in anthropology which promotes new research opportunities and seeks to lead innovative scientific research in Portuguese anthropology, thus promoting its internationalization.

The administrative structure of CRIA is divided into four institutional subunits, each one autonomous to develop its own activities as well as to promote joint activities with other research and/or teaching units. CRIA’s scientific resources are focused on research groups linked to four thematic lines: 1) Social Identities and Differentiation; 2. Culture: Practices, Politics, Displays; 3. Migrations, Ethnicity, Citizenship; 4 Power, Knowledge, Mediations.

The scientific and executive boards promote researchers’ mobility between institutional units in order to facilitate cooperation and team work within and across thematic lines.

Research at CRIA is predominantly fundamental, and its outcomes are diffused through academic journals, books and conferences. Nonetheless, collaboration with policy makers and public institutions has also been stimulated thus contributing to a greater importance of anthropological knowledge and expertise in Portuguese society.
