As Principal Investigator
DNXT.AI — Intelligent Robotic Automation for Diamond Polishing
Transforming the traditionally artisanal diamond polishing process into an intelligent, standardized industrial workflow. The solution combines precision robotics with real-time adjustment of polishing parameters (pressure, angle, speed) and automated quality control.
TMD.AI — AI for Temporomandibular Dysfunction
Development of innovative computer vision solutions to improve the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders.
WATERMARK — Trustworthy Media Authentication
A response to the proliferation of AI-generated imagery: development of a watermarking system for trustworthy media authentication and robust certification in public administration, protected by encryption and tolerant to benign manipulations.
AIRS — Agriculture Innovation using Remote Sensing
Combining artificial intelligence and remote sensing to monitor vineyard phytosanitary status using freely available satellite imagery from the European Space Agency, enabling more efficient use of pesticides and water.
As Team Member
LUSITANO — Innovation for the Portuguese Textile Industry
Promoting the reindustrialization of the national textile and clothing industry through concerted R&D on intelligent systems aligned with Industry 4.0, drastically reducing water consumption.
InovFarmer.MED — Innovative Agro-food Business Models
Improving the Mediterranean supply chain through innovative and sustainable agro-food business models and digital technologies to strengthen small-scale farmers' competitiveness, with pilot sites in Portugal, Algeria, and Egypt.
V2IP — Video Monitoring for Person and Vehicle Identification
