About

M. Vieira is a leading researcher in visible light communication (VLC) and optical positioning systems, pioneering methods to overcome the limitations of GPS in indoor environments. Their work centers on using existing LED lighting infrastructure for both illumination and data transmission, enabling precise geolocalization and navigation where satellite signals fail. Vieira’s major contributions include developing bidirectional VLC systems that allow two-way data exchange through light, and creating integrated solutions for indoor and outdoor geo-localization that address automated logistics control. Their most-cited papers—including "Geolocalization and navigation by visible light communication to address automated logistics control" (7 citations) and "Bidirectional visible light communication" (7 citations)—demonstrate foundational advances in this emerging field. By transforming ubiquitous lighting into a communication and positioning network, Vieira’s work has significant implications for smart buildings, warehouse automation, and autonomous vehicle guidance. Their research continues to shape the future of optical wireless technologies, offering a scalable alternative to radio-frequency-based systems for next-generation location-aware services.
