Regina is an AI researcher focused on human-AI collaboration and AI-assisted decision-making. She is currently a PhD student at INESC-ID and Instituto Superior Técnico. Her research explores how human behavior is affected in a hybrid decision-making process and how AI systems, including XAI, can be designed to improve decision outcomes and create seamless collaborations. Alongside her academic work, she has three years of experience as a data scientist in the retail and banking sectors, where she applied data analytics and AI to practical challenges—an experience that complements her research by grounding it in real-world applications.
