Work

In this section of this website I will highlight some projects and achievements for both my academic and work journey.

There's real poetry in the real world.
Science is the poetry of reality.

- Richard Dawkins

I chose this quote from one of my favourite authors as it is one that ressonates a lot with my view on science.
From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a scientist and find the answers to the questions my curious mind asked about the world. That is science for me, the poetry of reality.

  • About Me

    I'm a Graduate Student currently enrolling the Bioinformatics Master Program in Universidade do Minho, Braga - Portugal. I have an enormous passion for biology and informatics, which allows me to create a perfect balance and explore the maximum of my capabilities, while doing two things I have an tremendous interest in. Trying to keep on learning and improving is one of my personal mottoes, in the endless journey of creating a wiser and better version of myself.

    My personal hobbies and interests include literature, music, sports and programming. I love reading, cinema, playing the guitar and mostly enjoy the value of simple and inexpensive happiness.
