Helder I. ChaminéH. I. Chaminé is a skilled Geologist and Professor of engineering geosciences at the School of Engineering (ISEP) of the Polytechnic of Porto, with over 32 years of experience in multidisciplinary geosciences research, consultancy, and practice. He studied geological engineering and geology (BSc, 1990) at the Universities of Aveiro and Porto (Portugal), respectively. He received his PhD in geology at the University of Porto in 2000 and spent his postdoctoral research in applied geosciences at the University of Aveiro (2001-2003). In 2011 he received his Habilitation (DSc) in geosciences from Aveiro University. 
Before joining the academy, he worked for over a decade on international projects for mining, geotechnics and groundwater industry and/or academia related to geodynamics and regional geology, hard-rock hydrogeology and water resources, engineering geosciences and applied geomorphology, rock engineering and georesources. His research interests span fundamental to applied fields: GIS mapping techniques for applied geology, structural geology and regional geology, engineering geosciences and rock engineering, slope geotechnics, mining geology and hydrogeomechanics, hard-rock hydrogeology, exploration hydrogeology, urban groundwater and hydromineral resources. In addition, he has interests in mining geoheritage, history of cartography, military geosciences and higher-education dissemination, skills, and core values. 
He is Head of the Laboratory of Cartography and Applied Geology (LABCARGA ISEP), the Senior Researcher at Centre GeoBioTec U.Aveiro and Centre IDL U.Lisbon, also belongs to the executive board of the MSc+BSc Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering programmes (OE+EUR-ACE Label) and the Department of Geotechnical Engineering (ISEP). Furthermore, he belongs to the board of the Technical Committee of Environmental Geotechnics of SPG (2021-...). Moreover, he was a boardmember of APGeom - Portuguese Association of
