I am an Assistant Professor at Department of Informatics Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, where I am a member of the Software Engineering R&D laboratory, and a senior researcher at INESC TEC. I am also a member of the Formal Methods Teaching Committee and a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (HEA). In 2023, I was a Visiting Researcher at Carnegie Mellon University under the CMU Portugal Program, hosted at CyLab Security and Privacy Institute.

My research focuses on encouraging a wider adoption of software verification by creating tools and methods that hide the complexities of verifying software. Recently, I started work on usable security, in particular on the impact of formal verification on the use and adoption of security software products. Much of my most recent work overlaps with the area of software engineering.
