Diogo Cabral

PhD student, Digital Media

Diogo Cabral achieved his B.Sc. in Computer Science Engineering, at the FCT, UNL. During his B.Sc. studies, he participated in the Erasmus/Socrates Exchange Program, at the Facoltà SMFN, Università di Pisa, Italy, which gave him a full year of experience as international student. In the last years of his graduation, Diogo Cabral became highly interested in multimedia and computer-human interaction fields. The work developed in his diploma project was the background for the mEmLearn project, awarded with the HP Technology Teaching Grant Initiative 2006. The mEmLearn project had the goal to promote the usage of Tablet PCs on education, developing new ways of annotation and interaction with this technology. Diogo Cabral worked 3 years in research projects (the mEmLearn project included) at CITI, FCT, UNL, which led him to pursue a Masters in Computer Science Engineering degree in FCT, UNL. In his Ph.D. work, Diogo Cabral proposes the usage of pen-based technology for the manipulation of digital video, with the aim to improve the digital media human interaction and combine multimedia and human-computer interaction research topics.
