Idelfonso Nogueira

Idelfonso Nogueira has a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Porto in Portugal, a master's in Industrial Engineering from Federal University of Bahia, Brazil, and a master's in Chemical Engineering from the University of Porto in Portugal. Between 2016 and 2018, he was a visiting researcher at the Tampere University of Technology in the Automation Science and Engineering Department, Finland.

After working in the Industry in 2012, he realized that the traditional approach to Chemical Engineering would need a new standpoint to face the emerging industrial revolution. Since then, he has been actively working in the tendency of what was to be called Industry 4.0, promoting the development of Artificial Intelligence and Process Systems Engineering solutions to face modern industry challenges. To do so, he is cooperating with several universities, institutions, and companies worldwide to promote these topics while leading a team composed of 6 Ph.D. students and 5 master's students.

The research line he is promoting a new perspective in Process Systems Engineering, leading to novel technological contributions that provide a comprehensive view of modern society's complexity. He has published over 45 manuscripts in international peer-reviewed journals, two sections of books, participated as scientific committee member of several international conferences, and acted as a guest editor in several special issues. Furthermore, He has been promoting innovative teaching activities to prepare engineering students to face the Industry 4.0 challenges.
