I have a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics, from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL). Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at the University of Aveiro, delving into the use of Electrocardiogram for Biometric Recognition, with special focus on Collectability, Stability and Application Challenge. Through her years of studying, I became extremely fascinated with several biomedical-related areas such as Biomechanics, Biosignals Processing, and Computer Sciences.
