PhD in Civil Engineering (2010), Associate Professor and head of the Civil Research Group at the Lusófona University in Lisbon. Eloi has teached courses in the field of statics and dynamics of structures; has worked on structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridges rooted on a statistical pattern recognition paradigm; and has over 150 publications on SHM and opinion articles to promote science in the society. He has been invited speaker in several conferences, seminars, and international meetings.
