    Bruno Miguel Fonseca Ferreira is studying for a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Coimbra, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since 2019, he has been a researcher at the Institute of Systems and Robotics, and has published articles at conferences and in specialized journals. His main areas of interest focus on the analysis of human movement using Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision, particularly during physical exercise. He is also interested in the development of immersive tools, usually using Serious Games, to support the rehabilitation process of patients with post-stroke or vestibular system injuries.
