"Abstract - The evaluation of computer system usability poses a non-trivial challenge that has witnessed substantial advancements over time, despite encountering various difficulties and biases documented in the existing literature. It is acknowledged that an expert evaluator’s usability assessment of a particular system may not fully capture the needs and issues experienced by the target users. Consequently, our research aims to explore the usability evaluation process by leveraging user interactions with the system and analyzing facial emotions recorded on video during these interactions, with a specific focus on examining the effects of emotion consideration during usability evaluation. The emotions expressed by users while engaging with a given system serve as valuable indicators to verify their satisfaction. This study intends to investigate how incorporating these emotions into the evaluation process can potentially influence the outcomes of expert evaluations."

I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Science at the University of Aveiro, where I’ve built a strong foundation in both the theory and practice of computing. My coursework covers core areas like programming, algorithms, data structures, and software engineering, while also allowing me to explore specialized fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer networks, and cybersecurity. This academic journey has strengthened my analytical, problem-solving, and technical skills, while enhancing my critical thinking and collaborative abilities in team-based projects.
SEP. 2019 - AUG. 2021
During my time at the University of Aveiro, I was involved in NBicla, the university's cycling group. Through this experience, I developed skills in event planning, team collaboration, and sustainability advocacy, while promoting cycling as an eco-friendly and healthy transportation option within the university community.
Mar. 2021
I participated in the Think Twice programming competition, a 40-hour team-based challenge organized by the University of Aveiro. Working in a team of three, we tackled complex programming tasks under time constraints, fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and efficient coding. The competition provided a platform to enhance technical skills, creativity, and teamwork while competing against other talented participants.
JAN. 2018 - JUL. 2018
After completing high school, I made a deliberate choice to seek new experiences before beginning my university journey. I decided to work abroad in the viniculture industry, which gave me the chance to improve my communication skills while developing essential qualities like teamwork and mutual support. This experience was invaluable in building the interpersonal skills that have continued to benefit me in academic and professional settings.
