ABOUT ME

Technology, Science and Engineering have always been a part of my life, in the sense that I've always been interested in knowing how nature works and how things are made.

Since 2010 I have participated and been awarded in several robotics and technological competitions - both national and international.

I entered the Electrical and Computer Engineering Integrated Master in the University of Coimbra - Portugal in 2014 and was awarded my M.Sc. degree with a specialization in Automation in 2019.

My M.Sc. Thesis was developed in the Soft and Printed Microelectronics Lab - Institute of Systems and Robotics and was awarded by Fraunhofer as the top 3 Portuguese Thesis on Human Centered Designs  and has also received an Honorable Mention by IBM.

Currently, I am pursuing a Double-Degree Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, between the University of Coimbra (Tavakoli's Soft & Printed Microelectronics Lab) and the Carnegie Mellon University (Majidi's Soft Machines Lab). My research interests include stretchable and printed electronics, acquisition and classification of biosignals, human machine interfaces, wearable computing, bio-hybrid systems, and soft robotics, as well as digital fabrication and additive manufacturing.

Part of my time is also devoted to developing innovative STEM courses for kids with the goal of helping to raise the next generation of engineers and innovators (the main topics include mobile robotics, electronics, programming and digital fabrication).
