Nuno Ferreira Neves is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisboa (FCUL). He serves on the Coordination Board of the LASIGE research unit, where he leads the Dependable and Secure Decentralized Systems research line. He is the coordinator of the Information Security Master at FCUL. His research primarily focuses on the security and dependability of distributed systems and networks, with a recent emphasis on machine learning techniques. From 2021 to 2023, he chaired the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance (TCFT) and is a member of the Steering Committee for the IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks. With over 150 publications, his work has received several distinctions, including the IBM Scientific Prize, the DSN Test-of-Time Award, and the Best Student Paper at Middleware.

Faz investigação na área da segurança e confiabilidade em sistemas distribuídos, com aplicações que incluem as infraestruturas críticas, a computação em nuvem, e mais recentemente a aprendizagem máquina distribuída.

Investigates models, protocols and architectures that are suitable for applications with strong resilience requirements, namely applications that need to remain operational despite accidental faults or malicious attacks. The kind of environments that are being researched include critical infrastructures, cloud access and systems, and more recently distributed machine learning systems.
