About me

I am a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering, pursuing a double degree at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). I am advised by Yuejie Chi (CMU) and João Xavier (IST), and co-advised by Cláudia Soares (NOVA). Prior to that, I received an MSc in Aerospace Engineering from IST in 2019.

My research interests focus on provable optimization methods for efficient distributed machine learning systems. During my PhD, I have been working on efficient vertical federated learning.

I am currently in the job market.
