The research work started by theorical studies on relativistic nuclear reactions and Deuteron scattering. This was followed by work on experimental particle physics, involved both in the DESY\/HERA-b and the CERN\/ATLAS detectors, with main developments on the data and control systems. By 2003 Ant\u00f3nio Amorim embraced a new challenge, coordination the design, building and testing of the first Portuguese instrument for an ESO (European Southern Observatory): the CAMCAO infrared camera. The camera was delivered to ESO in 2006. This was followed by coordinating the participation in the GRAVITY (4 telescope interferometer for ESO\/VLTI) consortium. Our team has designed, developed, and built the GRAVITY Infrared Acquisition Camera. The ongoing responsibility includes the development of the Warm Support Structure subsystem of the mid-infrared instrument, METIS, for ESO’s future ELT telescope. He is one of the co-responsible for the specific data acquisition system of the CLOUD experiment at CERN.
He is a Professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon and a researcher at LIP.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
