In 2021, Carla Silva was granted a doctorate in computer science by the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Porto (FCUP). After, in brief - postdoctoral fellow at the Research Center for Systems and Technologies (SYSTEC) and the Institute of Systems and Robotics (ISR-Porto) and principal researcher at the Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI). She has participated in projects both in industry (e.g., Fabamaq, Bosch) and research institutions, namely as a scientific programmer, data scientist, and researcher. In the past, she did Erasmus at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), Leiden University, The Netherlands. She also has academic experience as a research fellow at the Centre for Research in Advanced Computing Systems (CRACS INESC TEC), Portugal; Centre for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS), Department of Community Medicine Information and Decision in Health, Portugal; Instituto de Telecomunicaçoes (IT), Portugal; Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences, Porto University (DCC-FCUP); Department of Industrial Engineering and Management (DEGI), Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). Her research interests include many aspects of computer science, e.g., artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning, and the development of algorithms for multiple applications through a data-driven strategy to derive knowledge from data.
