What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster growth in innovative research and collaboration.

I am an ambitious and determined Master's student in Biomedical Engineering, eager to expand my knowledge and gain experience through my dissertation, which focuses on biomaterials, AI, and nanotechnology, particularly in cancer research. I possess a strong foundation in physics and electronic instrumentation, programming, signal processing, and research, which has equipped me to deliver successful outcomes in various projects.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed essential skills in programming languages such as Python, MatLab, and C++. My experience includes a final project on "Graphene Oxide-based platforms for the optical detection of RNA" in collaboration with i3N and the Department of Physics at the University of Aveiro. Additionally, I have honed my communication and leadership abilities through various roles, including serving as a student representative and participating in extracurricular activities.
