Soraia Meneses Alarcão

Hello everyone!

I am a PhD student at the Informatics Department at Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, with the theme "Reminiscence Therapy Improvement using Physiological Feedback", supervised by Prof. Manuel J. da Fonseca.

I am also a researcher at LaSIGE Human Computer Interaction and Multimedia Group in FCUL since 2014, having participated in the international project ITACA. I hold a master's degree in Information Systems and Computer Engineering from IST/TU Lisbon (2014) with the theme: “EmoPhoto: Identification of Emotions in Photos. As part of my PhD, I am working on the automatic recognition of emotions present in images, as well as to study the emotional reactions of people when exposed to visual stimuli.

I truly believe that technology should be provided to everyone. Also, I'm a tech geek/lover!
