I am a computer scientist with leading research interests in computational biology, bioinformatics, and data compression. I hold an Information and Communication Technologies Degree from the University of Aveiro (Portugal), with a segment carried at the Pontifical University of Salamanca (Spain). After, I worked in the private sector for a couple of years. Then, I rejoined the University of Aveiro and completed the Ph.D. in Informatics (2016) and the PostDoc in Computer Science (2019). In 2019, I worked as a Bioinformatician at the University of Helsinki (Finland). Currently, I am an auxiliary Scientist/Professor at the DETI/IEETA of the University of Aveiro and an Invited Scientist at the Department of Virology of the University of Helsinki.
