I am currently a senior researcher at INESC TEC and University of Minho. I have obtained a PhD degree in Computer Science from the MAP-i Doctoral Program in Computer Science, which is a joint program of Minho, Aveiro and Porto Universities with the collaboration of CMU and UT-Austin Universities (2015). Also, I have a M.Sc. in Informatics Engineering (2009) and a B.Sc. in Informatics Engineering (2007), both concluded at the University of Minho. Currently, my research is focused on large scale distributed systems with an emphasis on storage systems and data management. I have several publications on journals and international conferences, and I have participated in the research and development of EU (CoherentPaaS, SafeCloud) and national (Pastramy, RED) projects.For more information you can check my web page at https://jtpaulo.github.io, as well as, HASLab's research lines on the topics mentioned above: https://dsr-haslab.github.io and https://dbr-haslab.github.io
