I am a PhD researcher at COSIC, KU Leuven under the supervision of Nigel Smart and Svetla Nikova. My research interests revolve around the applications and practical aspects of multiparty computation.

From March to August 2023, I did a research internship at Nokia Bell Labs in Antwerp, where I worked on delegating the computation of zero-knowledge proofs.

From July 2020 to May 2023, I was involved in the SNIPPET project, where I worked on the design of privacy-preserving market mechanisms for the p2p electricity market using multiparty computation.

Previously, I was a research assistant at Instituto de Telecomunicações, working on quantum primitives for MPC protocols. Before that, I received my MSc in Applied Mathematics and my BSc in Physics from Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal.
