Bio
Nuno Lambuca
Nelson is one of those professionals rare to find. Dedicated, focused, skilled, interested, and that is why his output is one of the best I've been able to see and work with. He has put a lot of effort on our GE2 projects, being able to take them to high performance standards. Thank You.
Duarte Antunes
I started my PhD in 2005, at the same time as Nelson. I had just concluded my Electrical and Computer Engineering 5 years degree (at the time called Licenciatura) while Nelson had already 3 years of working experience. We took some courses together, and I remember being surprised how Nelson could catch up with the rest of us, that had just learned all those math equations one need's to know. I confirmed during those PhD years that he's a very sharp and hard-working guy, who can easily adapt to any environment. He's a 5 star colleague and a very good person, and I would definitely recommend him for any job that involves handling any of the following: people, computers, algorithms.
