Hi, I’m João!
I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science and Engineering at ISEL, currently working as a research fellow in collaboration with CTT. My focus is on developing smart E-commerce locker solutions that are cost-efficient, scalable, and secure—particularly for deployment in rural areas.
As part of this work, I’ve implemented a multiplatform mobile app prototype and gained valuable experience in both technical development and soft skills like communication and knowledge sharing.
João Cravo
Hi, I’m João!
I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering at ISEL. Alongside my studies, I work as a researcher at ATE | Aliança para a Transição Energética, where I focus on applied research that aligns closely with my master’s dissertation.
My work centers on developing data-driven solutions to real-world challenges, particularly in the areas of passenger counting, flow analysis, and enhancing the efficiency of public transport systems. This experience has been a valuable opportunity to deepen my technical skills and improve how I communicate complex ideas.
Gonçalo Esteves
Hi, I’m Gonçalo!
I’m currently completing a Master’s degree in Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering at ISEL. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science Engineering, with a specialization in Software Engineering, from IPS.
My academic interests lie at the intersection of networks, edge computing, hardware, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As part of my Master’s thesis, I’ve been focusing on Edge IoT, with research conducted in collaboration with FIT through the Ferrovia 4.0 project.
Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to strengthen my technical skills and continuously explore new areas of interest in emerging technologies.
Renato Marcelo
Hi, I’m Renato!
I’m a Master’s student in Computer and Informatics Engineering, currently finishing my degree. My main interests include information extraction, machine learning, and particularly recommender systems, driven by a lifelong passion for technology.
For my Master’s thesis, I developed a data pipeline designed to build a dataset for a medicine recommender system, combining my technical skills with real-world applications in healthcare and data science. Alongside my studies, I work as a researcher through the Ferrovia 4.0 project.
Pedro Santos
What I enjoy most is uncovering the characteristics and intricacies hidden in data—no matter where it comes from.
Like a good detective, I dig deep to uncover the “crimes” within the data, solve them, and build effective machine learning models. I strive for excellence in everything I commit to.
I recently completed my Master’s degree, specializing in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, while working as a Data Scientist on the Rev@Construction project, on behalf of ISEL. I’ve now embarked on a PhD at NOVA FCT, where I look forward to growing, learning, and contributing meaningfully to the scientific community.
Nuno Gomes
Hi, I’m Nuno Gomes!
I’m a researcher specializing in Health Informatics, currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at FCT NOVA. My work focuses on leveraging technology to improve mental health monitoring and care.
I’ve contributed to this field through research that demonstrates the viability of using wearable devices to detect anxiety trait levels and identify panic attacks, bridging the gap between data science and real-world healthcare applications. Alongside my studies, I work as a researcher through the Plano-A-Saúde C19 project.
