I'm a PhD student at the University of Coimbra and University of Lille
under a co-tutelle program advised by [Luís
Paquete](https://eden.dei.uc.pt/~paquete), [Arnaud
Liefooghe](https://sites.google.com/site/arnaudliefooghe/) and [Bilel
Derbel](https://sites.google.com/site/bilelderbelpro/). I'm also
working as an Invited Assistant at the University of Coimbra, part of
the [ALGO](https://algo.dei.uc.pt/) research lab, and a member of the
[TOPDEI](https://top.dei.uc.pt) project that is preparing students for
programming competitions. Previously, I worked as a full stack
developer at [Whitesmith](https://whitesmith.co).

Research-wise I'm mainly interested in Multi-Objective Optimization,
Combinatorial Optimization, Anytime Algorithms, Automated Algorithm
Selection, Automated Algorithm Configuration, and Reproducibility. I
am also moderately interested in Compilers, Distributed Computing, and
High-Performance Computing (HPC).

Technology-wise I'm mainly working with Linux, Emacs, C/C++, Rust, R,
Python, Nix, GLPK, Slurm, and SQLite.
