Mário F. S. Ferreira is a Professor at the Physics Department of Aveiro University, Portugal. Between 1990 and 1991 he was at the University of Essex, UK, performing experimental work on external cavity semiconductor lasers and nonlinear optical fiber amplifiers. He has been the leader of the Optics and Optoelectronics Group of the I3N – Institute of Nanostructures, Nanomodelling and Nanofabrication. He has written about 400 scientific journal and conference publications, and several books. He was the Guest Editor of four Special Issues of "Fiber and Integrated Optics" (Taylor & Francis): "Fiber Optics in Portugal" (2005), "Nonlinear Fiber Optics" (2015), "Optical Fiber Sources and Amplifiers" (2020) and "Quantum Communications" (2020), a joint Special Issue of "Optics Express" and "Applied Optics" (OSA) on "Optical Sensors and Sensing 2019", one Special Issue of the "Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics" (Springer) on "Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation", and two Special Issues of "Fibers" (MDPI) on "Optical Fiber Communications" and "Specialty Optical Fibers – Material, Fabrication and Applications" (2022), and and two Special Issues of "Fibers" (MDPI) on "Optical Fiber Communications" (2020) and "Characterization and Applications of Specialty Optical Fibers" (2025). He is a Fellow and a Travelling Lecturer of both OPTICA (Optical Society of America) and SPIE - The International Society for Optics and Photonics, and a Member of IEEE. He served in various committees of OSA/OPTICA and of SPIE, as well as in the organizing and scientific committees of various international conferences. Actually, he serves also as an Associate Editor or as an Advisor Board Member of several international journals in the area of optics and photonics.
