Tiago Manuel Louro Machado De Simas

Resume

Tiago Simas received his PhD in Cognitive Science (Major) and Computer Science (Minor) from Indiana University, USA in 2012. After receiving his PhD, from Jan. 2012 to Aug. 2013 he was a Research Associate at Brain Mapping Unit at University of Cambridge, UK. Followed by a contract of visiting scholar from January 2014 until January 2018 between Telefonica Research and University of Cambridge. From Nov. 2013- Oct. 2014 he was a Research Associate at the Department of Fundamental Physics, University of Barcelona, Spain, in a joint collaboration between UB and Telefonica Research. He led the research in the El Bulli Project with Ferran Adria and Football project with Barcelona Football Club. In November 2014 he joined Telefonica Research as a Research Associate where he stayed for more 2 years, leading the research team on El Bulli and Football Projects. After Telefonica Research, in November 2016 he was invited to join the team Health Moon-shot at Telefonica Innovation Alpha as a Senior Researcher in Brain Modelling. Telefonica Innovation Alpha is the first European Company with similar purposes as its twin Google X – Moon-shots factories. He’s Research interests are in the theory of Complex Networks towards a better understanding between Artificial Intelligence and Brain Modelling, eXplainable A.I. (XAI) and Data Science. He has published more than 25 publications in areas such as Computational Neuroscience, Complex Networks, Data Science, and other fields.
