Incoming PhD Candidate
Website · GitHub · LinkedIn · Email · Resume
I'm an incoming PhD candidate, currently finishing my MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam, working on generative modeling — mainly flow matching and diffusion models — with AMLab, under Jan-Willem van de Meent. My physics background (BSc, Engineering Physics, IST Lisbon) shows up everywhere in how I think about these models: as dynamical systems, not black boxes.
The thread running through my work: models that adapt through data, not just through parameter updates.
- 🎓 Finishing my MSc thesis on reference-guided flow matching
- 🏆 Presented an MSPT poster at CVPR 2026 (Highlight)
- 🧪 TA for Mechanistic Interpretability @ UvA
- 🌍 Based in Amsterdam, from Portugal
