Biography

Solving all disease at Isomorphic Labs. Previously, I completed an MPhil in Advanced Computer Science with Distinction at the University of Cambridge, researching Geometric Deep Learning, Neural Algorithmic Reasoning, Mechanistic Interpretability, and the optimization of Machine Learning Systems. Prior to that, I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering from the Technical University of Lisbon, ranking 1st out of 360+ students. During my undergraduate studies, I also researched classical satisfiability algorithms for gene regulatory networks and explored quite a bit of cybersecurity.
