Daniel Fonte Email & Phone Number

Daniel Fonte received a MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering (robotics and systems field) from Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal in 2011. During his education he has been abroad with the ERASMUS program, at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Techniques Avancées (ENSTA), France. From 2009 to 2011 he has participated as a professional staff member on the two first Fusion For Energy (F4E) grants of Remote Handling for the ITER project. Since then, he has been working as consultant engineer for key French accounts in the domains of embedded software and automotive engineering. He currently holds the technical leadership on vehicle motion control for two major Renault autonomous driving projects. His master thesis was granted, in 2012, with the Best Student Master Thesis Award from Portuguese Robotics Society (SPR) for the year 2011. His R&D work also gave rise to two authored papers presented in international conferences with peer review in the area of robotics and to three other co-authored publications. His most relevant professional training correlates to systems engineering and model-based design activities applied to different engineering domains, such as: remote handling robotics, safety critical systems and more recently autonomous driving.

Listed skills include Matlab, Control Systems Design, Embedded Systems, Autonomous Driving, and 15 others.
