His academic and professional trajectory has been marked by interdisciplinarity, excellence, and innovation. He has consistently sought to make significant contributions to society through the development of innovative work, building bridges across different fields of knowledge: from information technologies and machine learning to particle physics, from biomedical sciences to mathematical modeling. He completed his degree in Technological Physics Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico and conducted research projects at LIP Lisboa and at the Fundação Champalimaud.
