Lucas Pereira received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Madeira, Portugal, in 2016. Since then, he is at ITI/LARSyS, where he leads the Further Energy and Environment research Laboratory (FEELab). Since 2019 he is an Assistant Researcher at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). Lucas’s research applies data science, machine learning, and human-computer interaction techniques to structured and unstructured data streams to address real-world problems focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). His current research focuses on future energy systems, and sustainable built environments (SDGs 7, 11, 12, 13), and typically involves the real-world deployment and evaluation of non-intrusive monitoring technologies and intelligent software systems.

Hugo Morais received BSc. and MSc. degrees from the Polytechnic of Porto in 2005 and 2010, respectively, and a Ph.D. degree in 2012 from the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, all in the field of the electric power system. He is a senior researcher at INESC-ID and an Associate Professor at the University of Lisbon. His research interests are in the development and deployment of smart grid methods and tools. He participates in the definition of operational planning tools used by the French DSO and the development of hardware-agnostic solutions based on IEC standards to be used to control distributed energy resources. He also works actively in the development of strategies for electric mobility integration in power systems.
