Diogo Ferreira

Diogo R. Ferreira is an associate professor of information systems at IST, University of Lisbon, and a researcher affiliated with the Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion (IPFN) in Portugal. Since 2014, he has been applying deep learning and GPU computing to the analysis and processing of fusion data from plasma diagnostics, especially at the Joint European Torus (JET) and other EUROfusion devices. His work has been highlighted at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference and has been published in journals such as Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion and Machine Learning: Science and Technology; these often serve as references and inspiration for other applications of machine learning in the field of plasma physics. Diogo has also been inspired by the work at the intersection of machine learning and plasma physics performed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
