I am an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and a researcher at CI-IPOP and RISE-Health, working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Medical Imaging, and Health Decision Support Systems.
My academic background combines Applied Mathematics, Electrical and Telecommunications Engineering, and a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering, awarded with Cum Laude distinction. Before joining academia, I worked in the technology industry as Chief Technology Officer at Follow Inspiration and as Senior Software Developer at Vision-Box, where I developed computer vision, robotics, biometric recognition, and liveness detection solutions.
My research focuses on AI-driven biomedical and oncological image analysis, with applications in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, radiomics, medical imaging, and healthcare data science. I have authored more than 60 scientific publications, participated in several funded research projects, and served on more than 70 scientific committees.
Alongside research, I am strongly committed to teaching, supervision, and pedagogical innovation. I have taught courses in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, Clinical Databases, and Intelligent Decision Systems, and have supervised or mentored students across BSc, MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral levels.
I also contribute actively to the scientific community through editorial roles, peer review, conference organisation, and professional associations, including APRP and IAPR.
