University of Porto
I'm currently a Researcher at CRACS, and an assistant professor at DCC/FCUP, at the University of Porto, in Portugal.
I have a core background on algorithms and data structures. My main research line is focused on network science and on the analysis of complex networks from multiple domains. I am especially interested on the algorithmic aspects of discovering interesting subgraph patterns.
I'm also passionate about computer science education and programming contests (I'm an active organizer, problem setter, coach and mentor).

News and Events:
- Jan 2024 2nd place and a silver medal for a team I'm coaching in SWERC'2023-2024 (Southwestern Europe Regional Contest), our european regional of the ICPC contest. Due to this, my team got its 2nd consecutive qualification for the ICPC World Finals!
- Oct 2023 1st place and a gold medal for a team I'm coaching in MIUP'2023 (Maratona Inter-Universitária de Programação), the portuguese ICPC contest.
- Sep 2023: I was the portuguese delegation leader at the 35th International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), held in Azerbaijan. It was my 23rd IOI participation (as a contestant or leader).
I also lead our delegations this year at WEOI (3 bronze medals) and OII (3 bronze medals). - May 2023: Vanessa Silva has successfully defended her PhD thesis (Multidimensional Time Series Analysis: A Complex Networks Approach). She is my 5th PhD student completing her doctoral studies.
- Feb 2023 5th place and a silver medal for a team I'm coaching in SWERC'2022-2023 (Southwestern Europe Regional Contest), our european regional of the ICPC contest. Due to this we will participate in the ICPC World Finals.
- Oct 2022 1st place and a gold medal for a team I'm coaching in MIUP'2022 (Maratona Inter-Universitária de Programação), the portuguese ACM ICPC contest.
- Feb 2022: I organized NetSci-X 2022, the International Winter School and Conference on Network Science.
