Pedro Alberto da Silva Jorge

Pedro Alberto da Silva Jorge graduated in Applied Physics (Optics and Lasers) at the Univ. of Minho (1996), MSc in Optoelectronics and Lasers at the Physics Depart. of Univ. of Porto (2000); in 2006 concluded his PhD program at Porto Univ. in collaboration with the Depart. of Physics and Optical Sciences at the Univ. of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, with work in luminescence based optical fibre systems for biochemical sensing applications using luminescent nanoparticles. Since 1997 Pedro Jorge has been involved in several research and technology transfer projects related to optical fibre sensing technology, developing new sensing configurations and interrogation techniques for optical sensors for the energy industry and environmental applications. Pedro Jorge is a Senior researcher at INESC Porto where he leads the Biochemical Sensors team exploring the potential of optical fibre and integrated optics technologies in industrial, environmental and medical applications coordinating several projects in these areas. He has more than 150 publications in the fields of sensors in national and international conferences and peer reviewed journals, is author of 3 book chapters and also holds one patent.

doctorate at Doutoramento em Física from Universidade do Porto (2006). Has experience in Physics
