I am currently an Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior T ´ecnico, Universidade de Lisboa (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering - IST/UL), and a Researcher at the Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR - Computer and Robot Vision Laboratory). I received a BSc and MSc in Biomedical Engineering and a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from IST in 2009, 2011, and 2017 respectively. During my PhD I worked on the development of machine learning models for melanoma diagnosis in dermoscopy images, under the supervision of Profs. Jorge S. Marques (IST/UL) and M. Emre Celebi (Uni- versity of Central Arkansas). My vision was to design approaches that could be explained to dermatologists, as I believed that this would improve their acceptance and desire to adopt the models in their practice. At the time, this was a radically different vision from any other research group. To find solutions for my challenges I had to collect knowledge from different application fields. This also made me aware that different research fields often share problems, and that collaborating with people from a variety of fields opens new per- spectives and brings creative solutions. I won the ”Best PhD thesis in Pattern Recognition 2017-2019” by the Portuguese Association of Pattern Recognition, member of IAPR. The impact of my PhD work has also made me a world leading expert in the field of skin image analysis, with invitations to join the international consortium ISIC and several invited talks. Since 2021 I have been actively co-organizing workshops on this topic at top conferences, namely CVPR, ECCV, and MICCAI. Since finishing my PhD, I have pursued my interest for explainable AI and human-centered AI. To- wards these goals, I am developing more efficient representations for neural networks, inspired by the way humans perceive the world and integrate new experiences. I am currently working on a variety of top- ics: few-shot, weakly, self- supervised, multimodal, and continual (lifelong) learning. I believe that by making machine learning models inspired in human biology, we will be able to improve their learning efficiency. I have extended my knowledge to several computer vision problems, with a particular focus on medical image analysis and personalized healthcare, for which I won a Google Scholar Research Award in 2021. I am currently (co)-supervising/mentoring 4 PhD studes, have supervised +40 MSc thesis, published 19 Journal and 40 conference papers on peer-reviewed venues, and participated in several projects (two of them on a leadership role). I am also working towards becoming a role model for girls in AI, with participation in several related initiatives.
