Short Bio

Born in Mozambique in 1968, graduated in Computer Engineering from the Nova University of Lisbon (1992); holds a PhD summa cum laude in Computer Graphics from the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany (1997); and Habilitation in Tech. and Information Systems from the University of Minho (UM), Portugal (2008). In 2019 he was awarded the honorific professor honoris causa from UNIVEM, São Paulo, Brazil. 

He is currently a Full Professor at the Department of Media, Art and Technology of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Saint Joseph, Macao, China. 

He started his university career in Germany as a guest assistant at the Technical University of Darmstadt (1992). He was Assist. Prof. in the University of Minho (2000-2009) was a mentor, co-founder and professor in the Master of Computer Graphics and Virtual Environments and Master of Tech. and Digital Art (Director from 2007-2009). In close collaboration with the UM, he has been the Exec. Director of the Computer Graphics Centre (CCG), an Interface Institute for Applied Research (1997–2005). In this position, he coordinated the acquisition of more than 30 Research & Development projects totalling more than 6 million euros. Some of the project's results were pioneers in Portugal. They represented a step forward in the technology transfer of computer graphics and virtual reality (e.g. Virtual Oceanarium for the World Expo 1998). On behalf of CCG, he received the European IST Prize 2000: Grand Prize Winner for the TeleInViVo project and the LAVAL Virtual 2002 – "Science et education" and "GRAND PRIX DU JURY 2002", by the Laval Academy, Mayenne França, for the European project ARCHEOGUIDE. 

He is a Full Professor (Professor Catedrático) at Portuguese Open University, where he has been the dean of the Department (faculty equivalent) of Sciences and Technology (2010-2012); President of the Univ. Scientific Council (2015) and founder and first director of the University Pole of the Research Centre for Arts and Communication (2014-2020). He designed several graduation, master's, and doctoral programs, conceived to run in open distance learning mode; as such, they were innovative programs, with particular emphasis on the Doctoral Program in Digital Media Arts, a joint project with the University of Algarve. He successfully supervised 4 post-doctoral, 9 PhD and about 2 dozen master's candidates.   

He is currently the President of the Artech-International, an assoc. for computer, digital and media arts, with activities worldwide. He is a member of ACM, IEEE and SIGGRAPH. He is a regular scientific consultant for several international boards in Europe, Latin America and Russia.

Professor Adérito Fernandes-Marcos is a member of the editorial boards of several scientific journals in areas from computer graphics, arts and design. He is the editor-in-chief of the scientific journal: International Journal of Creative Interfaces and Computer Graphics (ISSN: 1947-3117).
