Professional Development

I have attended numerous international conferences, for example ETAPS (European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software) 7 times (2000, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2016), and POPL (Principles of Programming Languages) 5 times (1995, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001).

In 2017, I attended in Portugal a summer school on probabilistic programming which was the 1st edition of the “School on Foundations of Programming and Software systems” which is jointly funded by EATCS, ETAPS, ACM SIGLOG, and ACM SIGPLAN.
