Jaime S. Cardoso holds a Licenciatura (5-year degree) in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1999, an MSc in Mathematical Engineering in 2005 and a Ph.D. in Computer Vision in 2006, all from the University of Porto. Cardoso is an Associate Professor with Habilitation at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) and the leader of the ‘Information Processing and Pattern Recognition’ Area in the Centre for Telecommunications and Multimedia of INESC TEC. His scientific research can be summed up in three major topics: computer vision (image and video analysis and processing), machine learning and decision support systems. Image and video processing focuses on medical images, biometrics and video object tracking for applications such as surveillance and sports. The work on machine learning cares mostly with the adaptation of learning to the challenging conditions presented by visual data. The particular emphasis of the work in decision support systems goes to medical applications, always anchored on the automatic analysis of visual data. Cardoso has co-authored 150+ papers, 45+ of which in international journals.
