I am currently an Assistant Researcher at INESC TEC (and part of the DSR HASLab group) and an Invited Assistant Professor at University of Minho.
My current research focus is on AI for Systems and Systems for AI. In detail, my research interests have been shifting towards the following topics:
- AI for systems optimizations and tuning
- Storage optimizations for AI workloads
- Energy consumption optimization for data-intensive workloads
- Application-specific AI for healthcare
