Education:

2006

Electrical and Computer Engineering Master Degree at Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal.
The final dissertation "Stereo Reconstruction of a Submerged Model Breakwater and Interface Estimation" can be found here (pdf) (ps.gz).

2004

Electrical and Computer Engineering Degree at Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal.
For a description and results of the final project, please see here.

Projects:

Speech Coding in GSM

In '03 I had the chance to take Prof. Fernando Pereira's class on Telecomunication Systems and had to produce a research paper for the end of the semester. I did mine on "Speech coding in GSM" (in Portuguese).

eist88

I've completed an 80188 emulator. This version should be better than the first one and it has been tested in class in 2002. Here's a brief page on it.
