Biography

I am a Computer Science PhD student at Instituto Superior Técnico and a Junior Researcher at INESC-ID, Lisbon. My advisors are Professor Vasco Manquinho at IST and Professor Mikoláš Janota at CIIRC, Czech Technical University in Prague.

I concluded my BSc and MSc in Information Systems and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. My research interests include Artificial Intelligence, Automated Reasoning, Program Repair, but also Program Synthesis, Formal Methods, Machine Learning.

During the final year of my MSc, I worked as a Student Intern at OutSystems. My MSc thesis was supervised by Professor Vasco Manquinho from IST and Miguel Ventura from OutSystems. During the same period, I was also a Research Assistant at Carnegie Mellon University, USA, where I worked with Professor Ruben Martins.

Research Assistant

Carnegie Mellon University, SCS​

Feb 2019 – May 2019 Pittsburgh, USA
During my MSc program, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Professor Ruben Martins on my thesis. Our primary focus was on a system called SQUARES, which aims to generate SQL queries by utilizing input-output examples. This falls under the domain of Programming-By-Examples, a subfield of computer science. We developed a novel encoding for programs for Enumeration-based Program Synthesis.

Sep 2018 – Dec 2019 Lisboa, Portugal
In the final year of my MSc, my thesis was supervised by Professor Vasco Manquinho. We developed a novel SQL synthesizer, SQUARES, capable of generating SQL queries using Query Reverse Engineering (QRE), i.e., from input-output tables. QRE is a subfield of Program Synthesis whose goal is to generate programs that satisfy a given high-level specification.
