Research
Interests
In am interested in the development and application of machine learning techniques to analyse Intelligent Transport Systems data and to forecast time series. My research focuses on unsupervisedclassification algorithms, Support Vector Machines, optimization of Neural Networks architecture
applied to the transport and energy sectors.
