  <section id="about">
    <h2>About</h2>
    <p>
      I am an associate professor with habilitation at the
      <a href="https://www.di.uminho.pt">Computer Science Department</a>,
      <a href="http://www.uminho.pt/">Universidade do Minho</a>, and a
      research coordinator at the
      <a href="https://haslab.uminho.pt">High Assurance Software Laboratory</a>
      (HASLab) of <a href="https://www.inesctec.pt/en">INESCTEC</a>.
      Since June 2024 I also serve as Deputy Head of the Department.
    </p>
    <p>
      I hold a PhD from École Polytechnique on Interaction Nets and the Geometry of Interaction.
      My research since then has focused on deductive program verification — currently on
      distributed algorithm verification and safe AI.
