Curriculum Vitae
SUMMARY
Vladimiro Miranda holds a Ph.D. degree (1982) from FEUP, the Faculty of
Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal.
He has been a lecturer at FEUP since 1980, holding presently the position of
Full Professor (Professor Catedrático) in the area of Power Systems.
Since 2000 he has been serving as a Member of the Board of Directors of
INESC Porto - a private, nonprofit R&D institute, declared of public interest.
INESC Porto is now the coordinating entity of INESC TEC – INESC Technology
and Science, appointed as Associated Laboratory by the Ministry of Science of the Government of Portugal.
He is presently appointed as President of INESC P&D Brasil. He has previously been President of the Board of
Directors of INESC Macau, China. He has been always a researcher in the Power Systems Unit of INESC TEC.
He was Visiting Professor in the Federal University of Pará, Brazil, in 2005. Previously, he had been Professor in
the University of Macau, China (1996 and 1997).
He has been serving in the Administration board of companies incubated by INESC. He also acted as consultant for
industrial companies and for companies and agencies devoted to innovation and technology.
He has been serving as Project evaluator for the Foundation of Science and Technology in Portugal, as well as for
similar governmental organizations in Norway, Croatia, South Africa and Argentina, for whose Ministry of Science
and Technology he has also served as evaluator of research institutions.
He has authored a large number of publications in the most prestigious international journals in his area of
expertise, namely IEEE Transactions in Power Systems.
He is recognized as an international expert in Computational Intelligence in Power Systems and for this motive he
was elevated to the degree of Fellow of the IEEE (USA).
