🔍 Currently looking for opportunities after the PhD!

Diogo Lopes Vaz

I'm currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal and a junior researcher on the Distributed, Parallel, and Secure Systems (DPSS) at INESC-ID Lisboa studying the application of machine learning techniques on the generation of fault-tolerant algorithms

In addition, I'm also involved in teaching activities as a Teaching Assistant at IST and an Instructor in various courses.
