The 4th edition of the U.Porto 3MT® (Three Minute Thesis) competition, an initiative that challenges doctoral students at the University of Porto to test and put into practice their communication skills, will have its final on May 16th at the Salão Nobre of U.Porto’s Rectorate.
There are 20 finalists who will be challenged to communicate science in a final that will be open to the whole community.
Bernardo Leite, a student of the Doctoral Programme in Informatics Engineering (ProDEI), will be one of the 8 FEUP representatives to explain his research work in just 3 minutes: Student-centric question generation.
Ever since he was a child, Bernardo has had a great passion for computers and how they work. He is currently a fully motivated researcher and professional in the field of Computer Science. His main areas of interest are Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Computer Supported Education and Question Generation (his PhD project, supervised by Henrique Lopes Cardoso (DEI)).
