About Me

I am a student from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, doing a PhD in artificial intelligence for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) under low-resources. Passionate about advancing Artificial Intelligence, I focus on applying cutting-edge machine learning techniques to solve complex challenges in this field. Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy cooking, drawing, and staying active through sports, which help me bring creativity and balance into my work. I hold an MSc from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, where I laid the foundation for my current research.

Recent events

- Was a visiting student at Carnegie Mellon University - School of Computer Science - Language Technologies Institute for 3 months, working on long-form audio for speech recognition on Watanabe’s Audio and Voice (WAV) Lab (2024).
- Currently doing a PhD in creating robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems under low-resource scenarios. I am working at INESC-ID Lisbon, Portugal.
- Did research with speech for children at INESC-ID, Lisbon, Portugal (2020).
- In January of 2021, I finished my MSc in automatic speech recognition (ASR) by creating one of the first known state-of-the-art end-to-end systems for European Portuguese using only deep learning technology. As a result, I published a paper for IberSPEECH 2021 with the title "TRIBUS: An end-to-end automatic speech recognition system for European Portuguese" with my orientor prof. Alberto Abad.
