Bernardo Tomé received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Lisbon, in 1998. He is currently an Assistant Researcher with the Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas (LIP), and an Invited Teacher with the Physics Department, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. His research interests cover the areas of experimental high-energy particle and astroparticle physics, in particular ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays and gamma-ray physics; detector development and performance studies for high-energy physics and space applications; and advanced Monte Carlo detector simulation techniques. He has been a member of several international collaborations, namely the DELPHI experiment at LEP/CERN, the EUSO space project, as well as collaborating in several projects in the framework of the LIP participation at ESA. He is currently a member of the Pierre Auger Observatory and of the GEANT4 collaboration at CERN. He is also involved in the development of a new wide Field-of-View Gamma Ray Observatory in the Southern Hemisphere. He has co-authored more than 400 scientific papers.
