Orlando Frazão, researcher at INESC TEC, was appointed Fellow of the European Optical Society (EOS) for the current year, acknowledging his vast career in applied photonics - namely in fibre-optic sensors.
02nd October 2024
Several INESC TEC researchers participated in the 19th edition of the Physics Summer School of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP). Through project mentoring and guided visits to the laboratories, the institution's researchers showed the 61 students who participated in this activity the differentiating role that INESC TEC plays in the interface between academia, science and technology.

Rita Faria, INESC TEC researcher, received the award for best oral presentation in the field of Physics at the Annual Meeting of Young Research – IJUP 2024. The work “Long-Period Fiber Gratings and Fabry-Perot Interferometers for Relative Humidity Fiber Sensing in a Marine Environment” presents advances in the development of fibre optics sensors to monitor temperatures, which will later be implemented in floating concrete structures to support offshore wind turbines.
27th June 2024
The work developed by INESC TEC researchers on optical fibre featured on the cover of the February edition of the international scientific journal Sensors (MDPI). The work presented demonstrated a proof of concept to increase the sensitivity of sensors in fibre optics, using a Graphene Oxide (GO) coating for aqueous glucose solutions in a concentration range of 25 to 200 mg/dL - a common range in blood studies.
