About Me
I received a BSc (2009) and MSc (2011) in Biomedical Engineering, and a PhD (2017) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa. I am currently a researcher at ISR and an Invited Assistant Professor at IST. My research interests include computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning. Currently accepting students.

Projects
Led by SENSEI, this project aims to develop AI-based technologies to personalize user shopping experience by automating the new generation of retail infrastructure. In particular, Computer Vision and Machine Learning are the core of our contribution to Smart Retail developments.
Developing new computer-aided diagnosis and detection systems that interact with radiologists to improve breast cancer detection. These systems deal with multimodal images and produce fine-grained, concept-rich annotations to highlight malignant lesions and their characteristics.
