Matilde Palmeira holds a BSc and a MSc in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Coimbra in Portugal. She started her PhD in November 2023 at the Center for Physics of the University of Coimbra (CFisUC) and is co-supervised by Dr. Guillermo Lorenzo [along with Dr. Rui Travasso from CFisUC and Dr. Juan Pardo-Montero from the Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela (IDIS)]. Her project focuses on the development of a model for the personalized estimation of tumor progression and radiotherapy response in prostate cancer patients. She has since joined the Portuguese national project PERFORM – Personalized Computational Forecasting of Prostate Adenocarcinomas.

Her research interests include computational biology (or the beauty of looking at life through math), medical imaging analysis and processing, as well as science communication. When away from the computer, she enjoys creating funny illustrations, cooking new dishes, and trying different arts and crafts.
