Short Resumee
My name is Hugo Sereno Ferreira, born in 1980, Porto, Portugal. I am currently a Ph.D. AbD student at the MAP-i Doctoral Programme in Computer Science from the Universities of Minho, Aveiro and Porto; a researcher in Software Engineering at ParadigmaXis, S.A. and FEUP; and an Assistant Lecturer at FEUP/DEI. I also hold a Licenciate degree in Informatics and Computer Engineering (as of now, roughly equivalent to a master’s degree) from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. My main research interests focus on topics such as Software Patterns, Model-Driven Software Engineering, Metamodelling, Object-Oriented Architecture and Design, Frameworks, UML and Agile Development.
