Currently, he is an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Porto where he coordinates the Distributed and Real-Time Embedded Systems laboratory. He is also Director of the Doctoral Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the same institution and Vice-Director of the CISTER research unit on real-time and embedded computing systems. His current interests are in real-time communication protocols for embedded systems and wireless communication and middleware for teams of cooperative autonomous agents. He is a co-author of more than 300 refereed publications in international scientific conferences and journals (7 with awards), co-author of 4 patents and 10 book chapters, and Principal Investigator, local coordinator or participant in over 20 funded national and international research projects.

Since 2000 he has participated in over 100 Program Committees and over 50 Organizing Committees of events in Real-Time Systems (RTSS, ECRTS, RTAS, RTCSA, DATE, …), Embedded Systems (EMSOFT, ICESS, SAC, …) Industrial Systems (ETFA, WFCS, SIES, INDIN, …) and Robotics (ROBOCUP, ICARSC, …). In particular, he was General co-Chair of WFCS 2020, ETFA Track (co-)Chair in 2020, 2019, 2007 and 2005,  co-Chair of ICARSC 2019 and 2015, General co-Chair of CPS Week 2018, co-Chair of the RoboCup Symposium 2015, General Chair of RTSS 2012, Program Chair of RTSS 2011, DATE Topic Chair 2011-2009 and RTSS Student Competition Chair 2009-2006.

He is the Past Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems in 2023-2021, and he was Chair in 2021-2020, Vice-Chair in 2019-2018 and member of the Executive Committee in 2012-2008. He is the Chair of the EDAA SIG on Embedded Systems Design (EMSIG) since 2020 and Vice-Chair in 2019-2012. He was Trustee of the RoboCup Federation in 2016-2008, Vice-President in 2013-2011, President of the Fiscal Council of the Portuguese Robotics Society in 2020-2015, Vice-President of the Board in 2010-2009 and Secretary in 2008-2007.

Luis Almeida is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Real-Time Systems Journal, Springer, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Systems Architecture, Elsevier, and of the International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, SAGE. He was the founder and first President of the Alumni Association of the University of Aveiro, currently honorary member. He was also founder of the first IEEE Student Branch in Portugal, in 1987, and founder of the first Robotics Student Competitions in Portugal in 1995.
