Teaching

Here you can find some of the courses and materials I have taught.

Courses

Below are the materials that I developed for the courses I have taught (some are more up-to-date than others).

Training

  • Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning course by Centro de Formação Vale do Minho (May to July 2025)
    • 25-hour course about the applications of AI in education, including personalized learning, assessment, and feedback.
    • The target audience were teachers from the 1st to the 3rd cycle of basic education and secondary education.
    • I was responsible for teaching the entire course, including the introduction to AI and GenAI, as well as their applications in the educational context.
    • Unfortunately (or not!), the materials are in Portuguese.
      • …
  • AI and Ethics: Challenges and Opportunities (Second Edition) course by Centro de Formação Vale do Minho (April to June 2025)
    • 25-hour course about the ethical implications of AI technologies, including bias, transparency, and accountability.
    • The target audience were teachers from the 1st to the 3rd cycle of basic education and secondary education.
    • I was involved in the initial introduction to AI and GenAI, as well as their applications in the educational context.
    • Unfortunately (or not!), the materials are in Portuguese.

    • Unfortunately (or not!), the materials are in Portuguese.
      • …
  • Artificial Intelligence for the Life Sciences course by OmniumAI (September 2023)
    • 1 week course about the applications of AI in the life sciences, including drug discovery, genomics, and proteomics. The course covers the latest advancements in AI technologies and their impact on the field.
    • I was involved in both general AI teaching and the application of AI to chemical data, specifically in the field of cheminformatics.
    • Unfortunately, I cannot share the materials from this course as they are proprietary to OmniumAI.
