Diogo Araújo
I am a Ph.D. student specializing in robust image analysis and AI-driven fairness methods. My work bridges generative AI, robotics, and multimodal learning to address real-world challenges. Under the supervision of Professors Catarina Barata and Carlos Santiago, I conducted research in robust medical image analysis. My work explored the combination of Vision Transformers and Multiple Instance Learning to create a novel classification framework that focuses only on the most relevant patches. I am currently a visiting student at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, under the supervision of Professor Fernando De la Torre. I am leading a project focused on de-biasing classifiers using generative AI and active learning.
Daniel Chechelnitsky
Daniel is a Ph.D. student in Language Technologies as part of the CMU Portugal Program. He is broadly interested in computational social science, natural language processing, and human-computer interaction. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Michigan, and a B.A. in Linguistics from Macalester College.
Maximilian Vieweg
Maximilian Vieweg is currently pursuing a graduate degree in the Engineering and Public Policy Department at Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on Artificial Intelligence Policy. He previously obtained a master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at IST through the Erasmus Mundus master’s program Marine and Maritime Intelligent Robotics. Prior to that, he graduated from the Technical University of Vienna with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
André Duarte
I’m a PhD student at IST and LTI@CMU. I do research in Natural Language Processing and I have a great interest towards the Responsible AI field.
Rafael Gonçalves
I’m an incoming Computer Science PhD student at CMU and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), co-advised by José Fragoso Santos, Limin Jia and Pedro Adão. I received my BSc (2021) and MSc (2023) in Computer Science and Engineering from IST. My research interests lie primarily in the areas of software security and formal methods.
