Duarte J. M. Ribeiro completed an MSc degree in Materials Engineering in 2025 from UMinho. His research interests focus on the growth and characterization of ferroelectric thin films for information and energy storage. He is currently a research fellow at CF-UM-UP working on ferroelectric HfO2 based electrolytes for integration as electrochemical ionic synapses.
Genesis Camila Cervantes is a PhD researcher in Sustainable Built Environment at the University of Minho, specializing in circular construction and digital innovation. Her work examines how circular-economy strategies, artificial intelligence, and blockchain-based material traceability can support resilient, resource-efficient built environments.
Beste Soybilge is an architect with an M.Sc. in Game & Interaction Technologies. She works on feminist HCI and justice-oriented collective action, exploring the intersections of space and digital media. She also creates interactive design works alongside her academic research.
I’m passionate about both sports and ideas, whether it’s playing tennis or watching anime with friends, diving into cybersecurity challenges, or exploring big philosophical questions. I find energy in sports, curiosity, and good company. I’ve always dreamed of going to America, inspired by the movies I grew up with.
After doing my Masters in 2021 I’ve worked in the Embedded Systems field for 4 years. With this new experience I’ve decided exploring new ideas and furthering science is the kind of work I would like to be doing.
I am a PhD student at Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto. My interests include program behaviour and resource management. I hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in Computer Science, having worked with linear type systems in my dissertation. I am now exploring a broader approach through the use of intersection types and their expressive power.
Hugo Pereira completed his MSc in Computer Science and Engineering at the School of Science and Technology of NOVA University of Lisbon in November 2024, following his BSc from the same institution in July 2022. His research interests focus on network security, privacy-enhancing technologies, and trusted decentralized systems.
Gabriela Garcia is a PhD researcher in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro, specializing in Product Design and Development. Her research explores how AI can be integrated into the design process to foster co-creation, innovation, and sustainability. She holds a BSc in Design and an MSc in Product Design and Engineering from UA.
I hold a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa and Instituto Superior Técnico, respectively. My research sits at the intersection of Computer Graphics and Machine Learning, with a focus on developing optimized solutions for realistic and highly performant physics-based simulations.
