Short biography

I was born in Portugal in 1971 and went to university at IST - Instituto Superior Técnico, where I got the following degrees: 1994 - 5-year degree in Software and Computer Engineering. 1997 - MSc in Electrical and Computers Engineering, with a thesis on "Permissive Belief Revision". 2007 - PhD in Computer Science, with a thesis on "Improving Methods for Single-label Text Categorization". I started teaching at IST in Sep/1992 and belonged to the Artificial Intelligence Group (GIA) of the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science until Sep/2014.

Research

My PhD work was in the area of Information Retrieval, more specifically in Text Categorization, but I am also interested in the following areas:

• Machine learning (in general)
• Knowledge representation
• Non monotonic reasoning

You can find the Datasets for single-label text categorization that I used in my PhD work in my personal homepage.

Teaching

I usually taught subjects of the Degree (BSc) in Information Systems and Computer Engineering - Alameda (LEIC-A).

• Practical classes of LEIC-A's Foundations of Programming course.
• Practical classes of LEIC-A's Object-Oriented Programming course.
• Practical classes of LEIC-A's Logic for Programming course.

I also taught subjects of the Master (MSc) in Information Systems and Computer Engineering - Alameda (MEIC-A).

• Theoretical and practical classes of MEIC-A's Knowledge Representation and Reasoning course.

Other

• Local arrangements for Spire 2002 (String Processing and Information Retrieval) Conference, in Lisbon
• DEI's Examination Coordinator (in Portuguese, Sep/1998-Sep/2000 and Sep/2004-Feb/2010)
• DEI's Mobility Coordinator (Mar/2010-Dec/2010)
• Tutor for the Degree (BSc) in Information Systems and Computer Engineering - Alameda (LEIC-A) (Oct/2009-Sep/2013)
