Lucas Pereira
Biography
Lucas Pereira received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Madeira, Portugal, in 2016. Since then, he has been at ITI/LARSyS, leading the Further Energy and Environment Research Laboratory (FEELab). Since 2019, he has been an Assistant Researcher at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. Lucas’s research applies data science, machine learning, and human-computer interaction techniques toward bridging the gap between laboratory and real-world applicability of ICT for sustainable development goals (SDGs). His current research focuses on future energy systems and sustainable built environments, and it typically involves the real-world deployment and evaluation of monitoring technologies and software systems.
