Short Bio

Nuno Laranjeiro received the PhD degree from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, where he currently is an Associate Professor. His research focuses on dependable and secure software services and he currently leads the Software and Systems Engineering (SSE) group at the Centre for Informatics and Systems of the University of Coimbra (CISUC). His research interests include experimental dependability evaluation, fault injection, robustness of software and web services, web services interoperability, and software security. He is currently mostly involved in developing new techniques towards more reliable and secure cloud systems and microservices, in developing techniques for evaluating the reliability and security of blockchain smart contracts, and using machine learning techniques for software fault and vulnerability detection and characterization. He has contributed, as an author, reviewer and program committee member, to leading conferences and journals in the dependability and services computing areas. Nuno has been involved in the organisation of several international events, including several editions of the International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering and also the Dependable and Secure Services Workshop/Track (as main chair) jointly organised with the IEEE World Congress on Services. He participated in international research projects, including several H2020 projects (e.g., ADVANCE, DEVASSES, ATMOSPHERE, EUBrasilCloudFORUM) and FP7 projects (CRITICAL STEP, CECRIS).
