I’m Ana Rebelo, born in Porto, Portugal, in 1985. I graduated in Mathematics Applied to Technology at School of Sciences of University of Porto, Portugal, in 2007. I received the M.Sc. degree in Mathematical Engineering from the same school, in 2008. In 2008, I started my PhD studies at School of Engineering of University of Porto, Portugal. I have been working since 2007 as a researcher at INESC TEC, an R&D institute affiliated to University of Porto, in the Visual Computing and Machine Intelligence Group. My main research interests include deep learning, biometrics, computer vision, digital forensics and document analysis.
