About Me

I'm a CMU-Portugal dual-degree Software Engineering PhD student at the Distributed Systems Group of INESC-ID, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon and at the ABLE group, Software and Society Systems Department (S3D), Carnegie Mellon University. I'm kindly advised by professors David Garlan and Paolo Romano.

I received my BSc. (2016) and MSc. (2018) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, with a major in Computers and a minor in Systems, Decision and Control.

My research interests include cloud optimization, machine learning, and self-adaptive systems.
