Bio

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Informatics at Universidade do Minho and researcher at HASLab/INESC TEC. I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science from this university in 2003. My research interests lie in Cryptography  and Information Security and its intersection with Program Verification.

I have been working on the development of high-assurance cryptographic implementations for the last 10 years, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical security and real-world security. I am particularly interested in provable security and its interplay with the formal verification of cryptographic proofs and cryptographic software implementations.
