Brief Bio

I've completed my Ph.D. at the University of California San Diego under the supervision of Prof. Nuno Vasconcelos. The title of my dissertation was "Learning to see and hear without human supervision". After graduation, I will be doing a postdoc at CMU working with Prof. Abhinav Gupta and, in the Fall of 2022, I will join the ECE department at the University of Wisconsin Madison as an Assistant Professor. Before UC San Diego, I earned both B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal in 2010 and 2012, respectively, where I worked with I worked with Prof. Margarida Silveira.

Research

I am interested in computer vision and machine learning. Specifically, my research focuses on developing learning and deployment frameworks that enable deep learning to operate with restricted labeled data and restricted computing power. As such, I maintain an active interest in areas such as zero-shot, low-shot learning and other transfer learning problems, self-supervised learning, multimodal supervision, and efficient training and deployment procedures.
