Instructor's Courses

I did undergraduate and postgraduate studies both in Psychology and in Computer Science.I taught Psychology / Neuropsychology courses at University for many years, and I got the level of Advanced Specialist in Neuropsychology by OPP (the official entity that regulates psychologists in Portugal)Afterwards, I graduated in Computer Science and I did a PhD in Information Science, in which I had to apply structural equation modelling (using software such as Amos and R).Today, I teach Artificial Intelligence, Object Oriented Programming, System Analysis, Software Engineering, Interface Design, and Multivariate Statistics.My main area of work is Applied Statistics, Research Methods, and Machine Learning (with a particular focus on Neural Networks / Deep Learning).In recent years, I developed a deep interest in both the science of Finance and themes related to Financial Literacy Education. Finance provides me with a fresh way to apply my interest in quantitative analysis, psychological phenomena, and information technology.
