{mi-ghel v-ah-s-co}
I am a Postdoctoral fellow at the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning, at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, advised by Danica Kragic. My goal is to build inteligent agents that are multimodal (able to process different modalities), robust (to changes in their environment) and adaptable (to human preferences).
I am a former intern at Sony AI and RSS Pioneer. I am also the co-creator of the Talking Robotics podcast.
I have a PhD in Computer Science (summa cum laude) from Tecnico, University of Lisbon, where I was supervised by Ana Paiva and Francisco S. Melo. I have an MSc and BSc in Engineering Physics from Tecnico, University of Lisbon.
