Master Theses

Over the years, I have (co-)supervised dozens of both technological and scientific MSc theses in the Informatics Engineering master program. More recently, I have co-supervised some MSc theses in the Design and Multimedia program.

As a support for my students, I have compiled a few documents to help them fulfill the objectives of a master thesis (only in Portuguese):
