About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL), conducting research at LASIGE. I am supervised by Dr. Catia Pesquita from FCUL.

Interested in Biomedical Artificial Intelligence. I am currently focusing on Explainable AI, researching the application of AI algorithms to explain their decisions and the implementation of AI-driven technologies in the healthcare sector. My goal is to contribute to developing ethical and transparent AI technologies. More specifically, I am working on making deep learning-based drug recommendations for cancer patients more easily understood by clinicians.

I have previously conducted research in Multi-domain knowledge graph embeddings and Machine Learning algorithms for gene-disease association prediction.
