Graduated in 1993 and received his MSc degree in 2002, both in Electrical Engineering from the University of Porto, Porto, Portugal.
In 2011 he also obtained the graduation recognition in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), Recife, Brazil.
In 2007, he obtained the PhD degree in Industrial Electronics from the University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal.
His PhD thesis was on RF transceivers for integration in microsystems to be used in wireless sensors network applications.
Since 2008 up to 2013, he was a principal researcher at the CMEMS (Center MicroElectroMechanical Systems), University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal.
He is involved in the research on micro/nanofabrication technologies for mixed-mode/RF systems, solid state integrated sensors, microactuators and micro/nanodevices for use in wireless and biomedical applications.
Doctor Carmo is also involved with the supervision of PhD students from the MIT Portugal program.
He is member of the IEEE Industrial Electronic Society and performs regular reviews on these publications: IEEE Sensors Journal, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Applications, IEEE Transactions on Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE Journal of Microelectromecanical Systems, Journal of Optics and Laser Technology (Elsevier), Microelectronics Journal (Elsevier), Journal of Sensors and Actuators A – Physical sensors (Elsevier), Journal of Measurement Science and Technology (IOP, Institute of Physics), Journal of Physiological Measurement (IOP, Institute of Physics), Electronic Letters (The IET), and Journal of Wireless Sensors Systems (The IET).
He is also a regular collaborator integrating the technical committees of the international conferences Eurosensors (anual European Conference on Sensors), Microelectromechanical Europe (MME), confTele (Conference on Telecommunications, a Portuguese bianual conference), IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Annual Conference (IECON), IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), as well as of the Symposium on Microelectronics Technologies and Devices (SBMicro, a Brazilian annual conference).
Finally, he is co author of the books entitled (1) “Introduction to silicon microtechnologies” and (2) “Introduction to medical instrumentation” (Both in Portuguese), published by LIDEL Editors (Lisbon, Portugal).
