Rui J. Lopes was born on April 21, 1970 in Lisbon. He graduated in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1993 from Instituto Superior Técnico of the Technical University of Lisbon where he also obtained a Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1996 developing work on simulation of mobile communications systems under the guidance of Professor José Manuel Brázio. In 2005 he obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Lancaster, United Kingdom, as a result of research on distributed multimedia systems supporting the ISO/MPEG-7 standard, under the supervision of Professor David Hutchison. His professional activity has been divided between teaching in the higher education system and research. He started his teaching activity in October 1996 as a 1st triennium Teaching Assistant at the Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco where he contributed to the start of the Bachelor in Electrical and Telecommunications Engineering. He joined the Department of Information Sciences and Technologies of ISCTE in October 1997 where he is, since January 2021, Associated Professor. He has taught curricular units of the three cycles of studies in different areas mostly in network science, computer networks and network services. He has supervised the work of more than a dozen master theses and five doctoral theses, three of which have already been concluded with the highest classification. In addition to his teaching activity he has contributed significantly to the activity of ISCTE having promoted various internationalization programs (e.g. Erasmus and IAESTE) and was, between January 2018 and September 2020, the director of the doctoral program in Complexity Sciences (taught jointly with the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon). His research activity has mostly been developed at the Institute of Telecommunications (IT) and focuses in the study of complex systems and networks with several application areas: from multimedia network systems to social systems. In this context he is particularly interested in the study and characterisation of processes and dynamic mechanisms in multilayer hypernetworks. In his curriculum Ciência Vitae the most frequent terms in the context of scientific, technological and artistic cultural output are: soccer; annotation; mobile application; distributed; crowd-sourcing; Multilevel hypernetworks; Dynamics; Team synergies; Team collective behaviour; Performance analysis; Association football; Complex systems; Networks; Clustering.
