In addition to these, I have also taught at various higher education institutions, including FCH-UCP where I taught the course 'Multimedia Editing'. Since 2014, I have been actively involved in research at IADE European University. As a researcher at UNIDCOM, I am presently affiliated with the "ENVISION FUTURE" cluster. I have had the privilege of being the editor for the Computer Arts Portugal magazine and prior to that, for Cybernet. My primary research areas encompass Design Education and its relationship with the phenomenon of Stigmergy. I have authored several publications on topics ranging from Design, Design Education, Coworking, to Stigmergy.
