Fernando J. Velez

Fernando J. Velez (M’93–SM’05) received the Licenciado, M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon in 1993, 1996 and 2001, respectively. Since 1995 he has been with the Department of Electromechanical Engineering of Universidade da Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal, where he is Assistant Professor, and he is also a researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações. Fernando was an IEF Marie Curie Research Fellow in King’s College London in 2008/09 (OPTIMOBILE IEF) and a Marie Curie ERG fellow at Universidade da Beira Interior from 2010 until March 2013 (PLANOPTI ERG). He made or makes part of the teams of RACE/MBS, ACTS/SAMBA, COST 259, COST 273, COST 290, IST-SEACORN, IST-UNITE, COST 2100, COST IC0902, COST IC0905 “TERRA” and COST IC1004 European projects, he participated or is participating in SEMENTE, SMART-CLOTHING, UBIQUIMESH, NEUF (LTE-Advanced Enhancements using Femtocells) and CREaTION (Cognitive Radio Transceiver Design for Energy Efficient Data Transmission) Portuguese projects, and he was or is the coordinator of six Portuguese projects: SAMURAI, MULTIPLAN, CROSSNET, MobileMAN, OPPORTUNISTIC-CR and PROENERGY-WSN. He is the coordinator of the WG2 (on Cognitive Radio/Software Defined Radio Co-existence Studies) of COST IC0905 “TERRA”. He has authored two books, twelve book chapters, 115 papers and communications in international journals and conferences, plus 29 in national conferences, is a senior member of IEEE and Ordem dos Engenheiros (EUREL), and a member of IET. Prof. Velez is the chair from the IEEE VTS Portugal Chapter since 2006, VTS Region 8 (Europe and Africa) Chapter Coordinator since 2010, member of the commission for the coordination of the specialization on Telecommunications from Ordem dos Engenheiros since 2007 and adjunct-coordinator of the same commission since 2013. His main research areas are cellular planning tools, traffic from mobility, cross-layer design, radio resource management, spectrum sharing/coexistence/aggregation, and cost/revenue performance of advanced mobile communication systems.
