Rui Martins (IEEE Fellow'08), born in April 30, 1957, received the Bachelor, Masters, and Ph.D. degrees, as well as the Habilitation for Full-Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computers from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DECE), Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), U. of Lisbon, Portugal, in 1980, 1985, 1992 and 2001, respectively. He has been with the DECE / IST, U. of Lisbon since October 1980. Since Oct. 1992, has been on leave from U. of Lisbon and with the DECE, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), Macao, China, where he is a Chair-Professor since Aug. 2013. In FST, he was Dean (1994-1997), and has been UM's Vice-Rector since Sep. 1997. From Sep. 2008 to Aug. 2018, Vice-Rector (Research) and from Sep. 2018 to Aug. 2023, Vice-Rector (Global Affairs). Within the scope of his teaching and research activities he has taught 21 bachelor and master courses and, in UM, has supervised (or co-supervised) 47 theses, Ph.D. (26) and Masters (21). Authored or Co-authored: 9 books and 12 book chapters; 50 Patents, USA (39), Taiwan (3) & China (8); 722 papers, in scientific journals (329) and in conference proceedings (393); as well as other 70 academic works, in a total of 863 publications. He created in 2003 the Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI Research Laboratory of UM, elevated in January 2011 to State Key Laboratory (SKLAB) of China (the 1st in Engineering in Macao), being its Founding Director. He was the Chair of UMTEC (UM company) from January 2009 to March 2019, supporting the incubation and creation in 2018 of Digifluidic, the first UM Spin-Off, whose CEO is a SKLAB PhD graduate. He was also a co-founder of Chipidea Microelectronics (Macao) [later Synopsys-Macao, and now Akrostar, where the CEO is one of his Ph.D graduates] in 2001/2002.

Rui Martins was Founding Chair of IEEE Macau Section (2003-2005) and IEEE Macau Joint-Chapter on Circuits And Systems (CAS) / Communications (COM) (2005-2008) [2009
