National Director Successfully Completes the “Agregação”
João Barros, associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Faculdade de Engenharia of the Universidade do Porto and national director of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program, was unanimously approved in his Habilitation (“Provas Públicas de Agregacao”) that were held on June 18 and 19, 2012 at the Faculdade de Engenharia of the Universidade do Porto (FEUP).
These included public discussion of João Barros’ curriculum vitae, a course proposal on Foundations of Communications, which Barros submitted half a year ago, and a presentation on “Physical Layer Security: From Information Theory to Security Engineering”. The two days provided many opportunities for lively discussion among members of the Committee and the candidate.
The picture below was taken after the deliberations of the Committee.
