Currently I am a Lecturer at the University of Plymouth with the Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems. I keep strong links with Vislab-ISR - Instituto Superior Técnico where I worked as a researcher where I was involved in several research projects RobotCub, Handle, Contact and Mirror.

I am interested in the use of machine learning, control theory to create robots that are more robust and can interact and work with people. My research interests are on learning by imitation, artificial development and active learning approaches.
