About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Informatics Department from the University of Beira Interior (UBI). I am also a member of the Centre for Human Language Technology and Bioinformatics (HULTIG), at UBI, and a member of the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support (LIAAD) from INESC TEC (Porto).

I am a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Beira Interior, since 2011 [thesis]. In 2003 I obtained my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence and Computation, from the Science Faculty of the University of Porto [thesis], and back in 1998, I concluded my B.Sc. 5 year degree in Mathematics/Informatics, from the University of Beira Interior.

I have more than 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience in a wide range of knowledge from Computer Science and Engineering. I have had the privilege to participate in the education of several student generations, where many have become key figures, either in the industry or by following academic careers. I love teaching! Seeing the growth and maturation of human intellect is something unique and wonderful!

I like to develop my research work in collaboration with other colleagues, which makes me involved in various networks and research projects, mainly within the scope of Computational Linguistics.

Courses

Teaching computer and technology subjects is a special challenge, considering their continuous evolution. Everything that involves information technology is subject to continuous change, requiring constant updating by a teacher. It is a stiff challenge but also very rewarding, for those who love to learn and teach, as is my case. Here is a list of courses I have taught over the past 20 years:

Research

In particular, my main research interests lay in the fields of Natural Language Processing and Text Mining, including subjects like Sentiment Analysis, Machine Linguistic Study, Text Knowledge Extraction and Summarization, and Text Characterization.

In addition to these main topics, I also like to get involved in topics related to Machine Learning and Web Mining, always being attentive to new sub-areas that emerge as knowledge advances.
