Short biography

I was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1971.

I graduated in Software and Computer Engineering at IST - Instituto Superior Técnico in 1994. I got my MSc in Electrical and Computers Engineering also at IST in 1997, with a thesis on "Permissive Belief Revision". I got my PhD in Computer Science also at IST in 2007, with a thesis on "Improving Methods for Single-label Text Categorization".

I do my research at GIA - Grupo de Inteligência Artificial.

I started teaching at IST in 1992 and belong to the Artificial Intelligence Group (GIA) of the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DEI - Departamento de Engenharia Informática).

My institutional homepage is here.

My academic curriculum is here in English and here in Portuguese.

My office is "Gabinete 4" in "Pavilhão de Informática II", marked with number 7 in this Alameda campus map. The campus map was taken from here.
