I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, specializing in Medical Electronics, at the University of Minho (UM), Portugal, where I have been enrolled since September 2019. My academic journey has been distinguished by receiving 7 awards in recognition of my achievements in both academics and research, including the “Prémio Iniciação à Investigação Científica.” In 2022, I collaborated with Centro ALGORITMI, UM, on a research project focused on Organ-on-a-chip geometry optimization. This work resulted in a conference paper presented at IMECE 2023 and was part of a broader effort to disseminate Organs-on-a-chip technology, including my participation in the European Researchers' Night (NEI). Since 2023, I have been working at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), School of Medicine, UM. I was awarded a fellowship as part of an FCT-funded research project, which supports my master's thesis. My thesis focuses on developing a novel deep learning-based algorithm for the automatic detection of extracardiac findings in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance images, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnostics and ensuring more personalized treatment for patients. As part of this work, I had the opportunity to present my research in a speed talk at the ICVS Summer Retreat, present a poster at the Medical Imaging Understanding and Analysis (MIUA) conference and at the Portuguese Conference on Pattern Recognition (RECPAD). Outside my academic and research endeavors, I am passionate about sports and music. I have been playing federated football (soccer) since a young age. Additionally, I nurture my creative side through music, enjoying playing the piano and guitar as an outlet for expression and relaxation.
