The IEEE EMBS Distinguished Lecturers (DL) Program seeks to offer top-tier speakers to EMBS Chapters and Student Branches worldwide. Carefully selected on a competitive basis by a committee, these experts are sourced from the global academic and industry community, and are chosen based on the capacity to deliver insights at the forefront of innovations in biomedical engineering. Hugo Plácido da Silva, Invited Professor in the Department of Bioengineering (DBE) and Senior Researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), has been one the selected speakers in the latest batch, becoming also the first IEEE EMBS DL in Portugal.
