Manuel Cerqueira Da Silva Email and Phone Number

- Developed AI/ML compiler representations using MLIR to target data streaming abstractions, with TypeScript and Java, and implemented a compilation flow bridging C/C++ to a SIMD streaming platform.- Part of this work was used for my master’s thesis.

- Actively participated in Robotics and Automation Society.- Engaged in collaborative projects and expanding my knowledge in electronics and programming.- Organized various workshops and events, contributing to the academic community.- These experiences not only deepened my technical skills but also honed my leadership and teamwork abilities.

- Oversaw the operational aspects of the Student Branch. Planned goals and activities, presided over meetings, maintained an Executive Committee, addressed issues and initiatives, and reported of Student Branch activities to IEEE.- Led 46 activities including workshops and events with a budget of €3,000, resulting in a 122% membership growth, increasing from 45 to 96 members.- Recognized with the IEEE Region 8 (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) Exemplary Student Branch award.

- Led the Society's activities and initiatives for the year, including strategic planning and presiding over meeting. Developed a line-following robot for the “Festival Nacional de Robótica”.- Organized and presented workshops on the ESP8266 and Arduino platforms, providing members with hands-on experience and expanding their technical skills.

- Created a Java API for a CLI tool for SystemVerilog synthesis, contributing to an AI/ML compiler.- Strengthened knowledge of hardware design and hardware compilers.- Learned about software development best practices like unit testing and continuous integration and enhance teamwork skills

- Developed firmware in Bare Metal C for underwater acoustic signal transmitter using an ATmega328p.- Synthesize high-resolution signals with programmable characteristics and modulation using MCU internal hardware timers.- Allowed me to improve my skills in microcontrollers, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and communication.

- Optimized resource planning for airborne communication networks, focusing on improving the efficiency of resource allocation.- Selected suitable optimization tools, configuring optimization models, solving networking scenarios, and evaluating tool performance.
