As a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, I specialize in hybrid optimization-based control frameworks for autonomous drone swarms, with real-world applications in wildfire surveillance (IPMA data). I have developed deep expertise in optimization algorithms, probabilistic modeling, and mathematical systems. Key highlights of my PhD work include: First Authored 7 peer-reviewed publications (4 published journals, 1 under review for the main content of the phd thesis; plus 1 prior journal and 1 conference), focusing on hybrid and distributed optimization methods, enabling fast convergence to risk-based distributions.
