ABOUT ME Coming from a loving and supportive portuguese family, I was born in France where I graduated with two M.Sc. in Computer Science. Attracted by multicultural experiences and highly motivated by exploring intellectual opportunities abroad, I studied in Brazil (PUC-Rio), South Korea (CBNU) and Switzerland (CERN) before coming to the United States (MIT) to complete my PhD in Brain and Computer Sciences. I enjoy new experiences. I love traveling and discovering new cultures and new people -- you always have something to share with and to learn from someone else ! I am also a big fan of music and I try to record and produce some (mainly electro, hip hop, trip hop and dub)...
