Short bio:

Henrique Madeira is full professor at the University of Coimbra, where he has been involved in the research on dependable computing since 1989. His main research interests focus on experimental evaluation of dependable computing systems, including security evaluation and benchmarking, fault injection techniques and error detection mechanisms. His recent research projects involve two research directions: a) Assured AI, focusing on providing safety and security guaranties in critical applications that use AI and b) human factors in software engineering, particularly on the use of biometrics to improve software quality. He has coordinated or participated in dozens of projects and was the Vice-Chair of the IFIP Working Group 10.4 Special Interest Group (SIG) on Dependability Benchmarking. Henrique Madeira has served as Head of the Department of Informatics Engineering at University of Coimbra from 2002-2004, President of the Centre for Informatics and Systems of University of Coimbra from 2006-2008, and Head of the Scientific Council of the Department of Informatics Engineering at University of Coimbra from 2005-2006.
