About Me

As a PhD student and a Teaching Assistant at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL), and as a member of the LASIGE research group, I’m passionate about bridging the gap between artificial neural networks and their biological counterparts.

Under the supervision of Dr. Catia Pesquita, an associate professor at FCUL, and Dr Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz, a Lecturer of Artificial Intelligence at School of Science & Technology of City, University of London I am working on using Neuro-Symbolic AI to improve Knowledge Graph Alignment.

Previously, I conducted research using deep reinforcement learning approaches to improve algorithms for n-way data analysis.

For a more detailed and structured overview of my work, please don’t hesitate to contact me to request my CV.
