As graduation project, I work in text mining under the guidance of Prof. P. Brazdil ('05, LIAAD, Porto, Portugal) [1].
For my doctoral dissertation supervised by Prof. J.N. Kok ('06-'09, LIACS, Leiden, the Netherlands) [2], I research data mining scenarios capable of breaking down the complexity of diseases presenting clinical heterogeneity. I mainly collaborated with researchers from the LUMC in the Netherlands.
In '09, I visit Dr A. Vellido in Barcelona and work on the discrimination of brain tumours based on magnetic resonance spectroscopy data.
The same year, I work with Dr P. Bulacio in Rosario on one of her projects that focuses on the differentiation of plastics to recycle. As with Dr A. Vellido, data are spectroscopic measurements.
In '10, taking up a new appointment in Los Angeles, I work with Prof. R. Ophoff and Prof. S. Horvath. At the University of California Los Angeles, I study the influence of epigenetic variations on different nervous disorders and we aim to build weighted gene correlation networks to relate groups of genes to the clinical traits.
