É doutorada em Estatística e Investigação Operacional com especialidade em Análise de Sistemas pela Universidade de Lisboa e mestre em Investigação Operacional pela Faculdade de Ciências da mesma Universidade. A investigação que tem realizado prende-se essencialmente com a área de Data Science, em particular otimização, previsão e sistemas de apoio à decisão, sempre envolvendo modelos de machine learning. É membro dos knowledges centers da Economia da Educação e da Ciência de Dados na SBE, onde tem participado em diversos projetos. São disso exemplo, o “GPS4Success - Identificação Precoce de Alunos em Risco de Insucesso no 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico” financiado pela EDULOG, do “Indicadores de mobilidade intra-municipais no combate à COVID-19”, uma parceria entre a SBE e a NOS e dos projetos “STEPS@NOVA: Student Tracking for Enhanced Performance and Success at NOVA” e “SUCCESS@NOVA: Strategies to Underpin College Course Engagement and Student Success” cujos objetivos principais são o da promoção do sucesso académico e aumento da taxa de retenção no Ensino Superior. Participou também como especialista externo em vários projetos de consultadoria do Eurostat, em particular: “Guidelines on the use of estimation methods for the integration of administrative sources” de setembro de 2017 a abríl de 2018; “Administrative data: helpdesk and other methodological support” de janeiro de 2017 a janeiro de 2018; “Report on the availability, kind and development of base registers of persons and buildings (dwellings) and derived frames used in the Member States” de fevereiro de 2016 a Janeiro de 20 e “Farm Structure Surveys: Analysis of national methodological reports and recommendations” de fevereiro 2015 a novembro de 2015. Desde a sua 1ª edição, tem sido responsável pela disciplina de Business Analytics Special Project onde o modelo de ensino Project Based Learning (PBL) é aplicado. Tem sido também mentora técnica de alguns desses projetos, em particular do projeto com a BRISA, com a Cozinha com Alma, com o WiTH AFRICA e, neste último ano, com a GregoryAI. O seu trabalho tem sido publicado em revistas científicas como o Journal Neural Computing and Applications, IEEE Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health, IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Financial Engineering e European Journal of Operational Research.
