Horácio Fernandes
Presently I'm an associate professor of the IST's physics department, teaching Micro-controllers, Real-time Control and Electronic and Optics Instrumentation as main courses, besides general physics.
I've created e-lab in the past as an incentive for master students to develop their studies in electronic instrumentation which some of them succeed in publish it as their Master Thesis. By that time I didn't know that this field of science would become what is known presently by IoT.
My scientific research is focused on nuclear fusion devices specifically on (i) diagnostics, (ii) real-time control and (iii) tokamak operation.

Ivo Carvalho
Ivo Carvalho received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics engineering from Instituto Superior Tecnico, Portugal, in 2004, 2008 and 2013, respectively. As an e-lab collaborator, he developed the Remote Thomson experiment. His scientific research started in 2004 in the real-time control and data acquisition area and with time his scientific interests expanded to the areas of machine operation and discharge performance optimisation. Some scientific highlights include the extension of the ISTTOK tokamak alternate current discharges beyond one second of operation and the operation the JET tokamak as fully qualified session leader. He is a member of the JET plasma operations group since 2014 as a secondee from IST. (last updated March/2019)

João Loureiro
A native of Lisbon, João studied at IST where he got the MSc Degree in Engineering Physics. He has always had a strong interest in experimental physics, and in particular in plasmas and fusion. This eventually became his field of work when he started collaborating with e-lab during his BSc degree. What started as course's final project, evolved into a master project where two Plasma-themed e-lab experiments where developed: Langmuir probe and the Paschen Curve experiments. When he's not maintaining the Langmuir probe experiment he is working with magnetically confined nuclear fusion devices in IPFN in the context of his PhD.
