  • 2020 - May 2023

  Developing Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Alexa AI Question Answering. I was responsible for recovering from speech recognition errors so that Alexa could answer factual questions accurately across nine languages, improving how customers interact with Amazon’s products and services. That included using large transformer-based models within the virtual assistant context, predicting fatal errors in customer traffic, and recovering from them using novel and scalable techniques.

INESC Technology and Science - Associate Laboratory

• Research Engineer

  • 2017 - 2020

  Developing predictive models based on information theory, neural networks, and Monte Carlo simulations to improve the stability and robustness of energy grids in breakdown scenarios. I used measurements from many edge devices to make the predictions more resilient to anomalies.

Universidade do Algarve - Centre for Intelligent Systems (CSI)

• Research Engineer

  • 2013 - 2016

  Designing time series forecasting models to control energy consumption in public buildings. I was responsible for generating predictive models and control techniques to forecast ambient variables (i.e., outside air temperature and solar radiation) to control HVAC systems. That included using radial basis function networks, autoregressive models, and evolutionary algorithms. Designing time series forecasting models to control energy consumption in public buildings.
