Filipe José Fernandes Manuel da Silva received the B.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores), branch of Computers and Telecommunications from Technical Superior Institute (Instituto Superior Técnico), Lisbon, Portugal, in 1992. Received the M.S. degree in Management of Science and Technology (Mestrado in Economia e Gestão de Ciência e Tecnologia) from the Superior Institute of Economy and Management (Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão), Lisbon in 1997. In 2007 received the Ph.D. degree in Physics (Doutoramento em Física) from Technical Superior Institute (Instituto Superior Técnico). He is currently with the Institute of Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion (IPFN) from IST, where he works in the field of numerical simulation of microwave reflectometry, namely in the development and implementation of simulation codes having been involved in: • Studies in the area of numerical simulation for the analysis of errors in the reconstruction of density profiles in reflectometry with applications to ASDEX Upgrade, JET, and ITER. • Development of ray tracing of models for the study of microwaves propagation in fusion plasmas. • Studies of models of initialization for the reconstruction of reflectometry profiles. • Development of numerical simulation code applied to microwave reflectometry with an emphasis on broadband Frequency-modulated Continuous-wave reflectometry. Since 2000, he is mainly dedicated to the development of Finite-difference Time-domain (FDTD) codes directed towards the study of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in fusion plasmas with particular interest for the study of reflectometry, being responsible for the development of the FDTD REFMUL* code family, which includes: (i) REFMUL, a 2D O-mode simulation code; (ii) REFMULX-/REFMULXp: 2D X-mode (serial/parallel) simulation codes; (iii) REFMULF, is a 2D with full polarization waves; and (iv) REFMUL3 a 3D full-wave code. He integrated the microwave reflectometry team in the ASDEX Upgrade, Max-Plack Institut für Plasmaphysik. In 2000 started an on-going collaboration with the Laboratoire de Physique des Milieux Ionisés et Applications (LPMIA) from the Université de Nancy II, presently Institut Jean Lamour (IJL) from Université de Lorraine in the area of numerical simulation and theory-simulation comparison. Also collaborates with other lead institutions in plasma physics such as the Ioffe Polytekhnicheskaya (Saint Petersburg, Russia) in the field of comparison theory-simulation and with Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (Paris, France) in the fields of mathematical physics applied to wave propagation codes. Integrated the European Reflectometry Code Consortium, under the umbrella of EFDA. Participates or participated as Principal investigator in 9 project(s) and Researcher in 5 project(s). From those, to be pointed out: -Collaborated in the full wave simulations done for Plasma Position Reflectometer diagnostic design under ITER-EFDA. -Responsible Officer of task 9, Assessment of the Measurement Performance of the PPR In-vessel Systems, in Specific Grant Agreement SG04 of F4E’s Framework Partnership Agreement 375 (F4E-FPA-375). - Project Coordinator of 6 approved EUROfusion High Level Support Team projects, REFMULXP (2013), REFMUL2P (2014), REFMUL3D (2016), REFMULIO (2018), REFMUL3+ (2019) and RFM3OPT (2020). Has supervised a M.S. thesis in DEEC (Department of Electrical Engineering and Computers of IST) and is currently supervisor of a PhD thesis in DF (Department of Physics of IST). He is a member of the Portuguese Engineers Association (Ordem dos Engenheiros).
