Engineering Doctorate Candidate in Data Science
Eindhoven University of Technology | Eindhoven, The Netherlands
As a trainee in the EngD Data Science, I worked on the following 7 projects:- ASML | “Unsupervised Particle Identification in Reticle Images”
- Implemented image segmentation strategies to identify particles in high-resolution reticle images.
- Heijmans | “Prediction of Occupancy in Working Spaces Using Sensor Data”
- Developed an end-to-end neural network model for predicting the occupancy in different zones/desks.
- Created embeddings for categorical features.
- Van Lanschot | “Detection of Suspicious Cases of Money Laundering”
- Tested a community-oriented approach for identification of suspicious cases of money-laundering from transaction data.
- Developed an application for visualizing the transaction network graph and the suspicious communities extracted.
- Den Bosch Municipality | “Solar Scan - Solar Potential Assessment from Satellite Images”
- Built a CNN model for segmentation of building rooftops in satellite images and use the output to assess solar potential of buildings.
- Developed a web app to visualize the results.
- TE Connectivity | “Recommendation System for Product Cross-Sell”
- Implemented a product recommendation system based on low-rank matrix factorization for thousands of parts using global sales data.
- Developed a web application to display the product recommendation scores.
- ASML | “Analyzing the Part Lifecycle in the Supply Chain Process at ASML”
- Analyzed the lifecycle of spare parts using process mining and identified its bottlenecks.
- Proposed an approach to identify abnormal part movements using association rule mining.
- Coaching/supervision:
- Introduction to Data Science course at TU/e.
- Data Science in Health Program at JADS.
- ASML | “Unsupervised Particle Identification in Reticle Images”
- Jan 2019 - Jul 2019
Lab Monitor
Lisbon Machine Learning School (LxMLS) | Lisbon, Portugal
- Part of the organizing team of LxMLS'19 as a monitor.
- Had responsibilities in the organization of the school and helped the students solving the exercises during the lab sessions, implementing machine learning algorithms such as hidden Markov models, conditional random fields, recurrent neural networks, and reinforcement learning.
- Jan 2018 - Dec 2018
Student Researcher
Institute for Systems and Robotics | Lisbon, Portugal
- Within the Signal and Image Processing group of ISR my research focused on deep learning and anomaly detection in time series data.
- Proposed an approach for time series anomaly detection based on variational autoencoders, recurrent neural networks, and attention mechanisms. This approach is unsupervised, making it suitable for applications where obtaining labels is expensive or time-consuming (fraud detection, medical diagnosis, fault detection, ...).
- Jul 2017
Intern
EDP | Lisbon, Portugal
- Built a neural network-based model to forecast the power load in hundreds of electrical substations within the Planning Department of EDP.
- Jul 2016
Intern
EDP | Coimbra, Portugal
- Worked on the design of medium/low voltage networks within the Network Studies team.
