I am currently pursuing a PhD in Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal. My research focuses on developing a drought monitoring and forecasting system for southern Angola, with the goal of enhancing community resilience and supporting policymakers in adapting to climate change. This project leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to predict and monitor drought evolution, providing a more effective and data-driven approach to climate adaptation. By delivering accurate insights on drought onset, duration, and spatial expansion, the system aims to facilitate evidence-based decision-making, leading to the implementation of more effective policies and adaptation strategies. I hold a Master’s degree in Geophysics, with a specialization in Geological Technology Exploration, from Severo-Kavkazskij Federal University, Stavropol, Russia. Research Interests My research interests include: AI applications in climate resilience, specifically in monitoring and predicting extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, particularly in developing countries. Water resources management, with a focus on groundwater and surface water monitoring and sustainable use. Machine Learning (ML) for agricultural management, with an emphasis on improving crop production and sustainability. I am passionate about leveraging AI and data-driven solutions to address climate challenges, improve water resource management, and support sustainable development through innovative technological approaches.
