Brian Ebiyau is a Ph.D. student whose research lies at the intersection of computer vision, deep learning, and embedded systems. His research focuses on developing efficient machine learning methods and models for edge computing environments. He is supervised by Professor Jaime S. Cardoso in Portugal and Professor Anthony Rowe at CMU.
I am a CMU Portugal dual-degree ECE PhD student at Carnegie Mellon and FEUP, holding an M.S. in Engineering AI from CMU-Africa. My research focuses on the mechanistic interpretability of vision-language models, visual grounding, and medical AI explainability.
I’m a dual-degree PhD student in AI and robotics, working on generative modeling and representation learning. I hold an MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico and was a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. My research focuses on developing structured and controllable generative models, with applications in computer vision.
Américo Alves is an ECE PhD student at NOVA FCT with a strong background in data acquisition, control theory, signal processing, and telecommunications. His research at IT/NOVA integrates these foundations into AI/ML solutions to enhance the resilience of next-generation wireless communication systems against adversarial attacks.
Filipa Mota is a Ph.D. candidate in Electronic and Computer Engineering at the University of Minho, working in NEMS technology. She earned both her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Engineering Physics from the same institution. Between 2023 and 2025, she worked as a Research Assistant in the Hanay Research Group at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) in Braga, Portugal, where she focused on the design, microfabrication, and characterization of MEMS devices.
Maria received her B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Universidad Simón BolÃvar (USB) in 2022. After graduation, she continued collaborating with Dr. Carlos Mastalli (Heriot-Watt University) on the optimal control robotics library Crocoddyl. In 2024, she began working as a Research Assistant in the LeDuc Lab at CMU.
Master’s in Computer Science with specializations in Cybersecurity and Distributed Systems from Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon). Now pursuing a dual-degree Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at CMU and IST, focusing on program analysis and software security.
Graduate researcher in AI and Robotics with expertise in generative models, fairness in machine learning, and medical image analysis. MSc from Instituto Superior Técnico. Recently completed a research stay at Carnegie Mellon University, where I developed methods to de-bias deep models using synthetic data.
