Biography

I received my Bsc in Biochemistry from University of Coimbra in 2017. I then did an internship at the Blue Brain Project at EPFL where I was exposed to interesting learning frameworks both in human and machines. This prompted me to do a Msc in Computer Science at University of Porto, Portugal. My master thesis was done at EPFL, where I developed a framework using Bayesian optimization to automatically optimize the stimulation used in Professor Courtine laboratory. I am now an intern under the supervision of Professor Cevher, where I intend to further explore the field of machine learning.
