I have a Master’s degree in Medical Statistics from the University of Aveiro and a strong passion for health sciences and data-driven research. I enjoy working with data, solving problems, and using statistical methods to make sense of complex information. I am always eager to learn and take on new challenges in research, especially when in contact with medicine and health sciences data. Currently, I am working in a research fellowship, in the research project “MAL-PREDICT: Machine Learning Prediction for Therapeutic Failure in Uncomplicated Malaria”, with the reference 2024. 07292.IACDC.
