I graduated in Bioinformatics, in 2005, from University of Lisbon, with a specialization in software development and in using deterministic mathematical models for data analysis. I developed my PhD also in Bioinformatics, in 2010, from University of Reading. During this time I applied Bayesian inference using genetic data. Afterwards, I have done a 1-year post-doc where I analysed a large database with whole-genome data using Bayesian methods. Later, I did a 2-years post-doc in Infectious Diseases using mathematical manipulation and computation-intensive statistical tools to capture dynamics in transmission models. Finally, I have done another 2-years post-doc analysing small and large datasets using statistical based programming tools, while continuing to apply statistical tools to analyse genetic data. At the moment, I am working in the Portuguese NSI in Survey Methodology and in the application of Data Science tools to combined micro- and macro-data from questionnaires and to administrative data. Due to my background, my interests are focused mainly on the development and use of software for mathematical and statistical analysis, as well as, on the creation and upkeep of databases. Meanwhile, I have been shifting my main interest to Social Science, particularly, to the fields of Population and Social Conditions. I consider that these fields can make important contributions to a sustainable development of the society. As such, I become attracted to the use of computer-based statistical and mathematical analysis to extract potentially important relations between demographic and socio-economic factors.
