Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Master in Thermal Engineering and PhD in Mechanical Engineering.

He held teaching roles in public high school (1975-1981) and university (FEUP, 1981-2010; UCP Biotechnology School, 1995-2000; Lusófona University of Porto, 2012-presently), working in undergraduate courses and Master Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Environmental Management and Engineering and Master Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. The most frequently subjects were Physics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Experimental Methods in Thermal Engineering. He supervised twelve master’s thesis and collaborated as a trainer in postgraduate and specialization courses in the area of energy (management, renewable sources and energy efficiency) at FEUP, INEGI and ISQ.

Areas of Expertise: Modeling of Transfer Phenomena, Metrology and Experimentation in Thermal Engineering.

Participated in studies and research projects and experimental development in the field of solar thermal energy, thermal drying and indoor air quality (FEUP, IDMEC, INEGI).

Degree: Full Professor. Doctorate in International Relations, Geopolitics and Geostrategy, variant Aerospace Power.He joined the ULHT by invitation in 1991, having been nominated to create the GGRI-I and GGRI-II CUs that he still teaches and ministrate. He is also a Lecturer and teaches the CU HMCRI, GDSS and Atmospheric Meteorology Management. Two Masters in ISCSP. Director of the then Faculty of Aeronautical Sciences. He was a commentator on the International Situation – RI in RTP, TVI and TVI24.Prior to that he was Air Force Pilot Officer, responsible for several Departments and Operational and Logistics Organs and Commander of two Portuguese Airbases. In NATO he was a military representative for the Western European Air Defense, culminating as Head of the Portuguese Military Mission to the Southern Command of NATO, Italy. Admitted to the Portuguese Embassy in Rome. 

Susana Santos majored in Genetics and Microbiology at Lisbon’s Faculty of Sciences and stated researching molecular mechanism of phage-host interactions relevant to the industrial fermentation processes carried out by lactic acid bacteria. She holds a PhD in Molecular Biology (Lisbon’s Faculty of Sciences) were proceed with the previous work and developed novel approaches.
She holds a Post-Doc in Molecular Biology (Lisbon´s Faculty of Pharmacy) developing her research in the subject of Genetics of Cardiovascular Diseases. As a researcher of Lisbon´s Faculty of Pharmacy and Lisbon´s Instituto Superior Técnico she coordinated one national project (Cardiogenetics) and participated in more than 10 national projects (Cardiogenetics and Cancer). This gave her experience of applying scientific knowledge to Healthcare.
In 2009 she becomes Assistant Professor at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias of several subjects related to Genetics, Molecular Biology, and Biotechnology.
In 2013 she became a co-founder of the start-up HeartGenetics, Genetics and Biotechnology. In HeartGenetics she was Chief of Technology Officer and Director of Quality Management System. HeartGenetics pioneers a methodology that integrate Genomics and Computational Technologies to make available innovative knowledge that helps Healthcare providers to promote Wellness, prevent illness and diagnose diseases.
Research interests focus on applying nutrigenetics based-knowledge which may potentially transform nutrition and dietetic practice. Also interested in biotechnology strategies for therapeutical or nutraceutical purposes. Her main interest is in applying scientific knowledge to healthcare and wellness.
