Valéria Carvalho completed her bachelor's degree in physics (2018-2021) and recently finished her master's degree in nuclear and particle physics (2021-2023) at the University of Coimbra. During her undergraduate studies, she took on two internships, with the latter focused on using machine learning to understand the Equation of State, leading to a summer fellowship. Her Master's thesis, titled "Mapping Neutron Star Observations to the Equation of State: A Bayesian Neural Network Approach," reflects her interest in nuclear physics, neutron stars, and machine learning.
