I am a research scientist at BayesMap Solutions, LLC which I founded in Sep 2014. I provide topographic LiDAR consulting services on topics such as geometric correction, uncertainty prediction, change detection, full-waveform processing, ground filtering and gridding.

From Nov 2012 to Jul 2014 I was a research fellow at ARL, UT Austin, and located at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA, in the Remote Sensing Center. Before, I worked at CGE (University of Évora, Portugal) between 2008 and 2012 (hired within the Ciencia 2008 program of FCT), after 3 years with CNRS, France, in the MIV team at LSIIT near Strasbourg. Before, I was with RIACS at NASA Ames research center (California, USA) from Jan 2002 to Dec 2004, with an INRIA postdoc fellowship during 2002. During that period, I was part of the Bayesian Vision Group led by P. Cheeseman, where I worked on 3D surface reconstruction of asteroids, wavelets on meshes and surface modeling.

Now my research projects include full-waveform topographic LiDAR data processing, ground filtering and gridding for DEM generation, and also photogrammetry, data fusion and super-resolution. My main area is data processing and analysis (images, signals, time series) through Bayesian inference, and one of the priorities is the propagation and the evaluation of uncertainties. My research is application-inspired, and so far it has been motivated by various inverse problems in remote sensing, planetary sciences, Earth sciences and astronomy. I am currently collaborating with F. Schmidt and C. Marmo (Univ. Paris Sud, France), C. Collet (LSIIT Illkirch, France), D. Fitzenz, C. Gama (CGE Evora, Portugal), G. Goncalves (U. Coimbra, Portugal), J. Goncalves (U. Porto, Portugal), S. Hickman (USGS Menlo Park, USA) and K. Knuth (Univ. of Albany, USA).
