Ola! Hello! Grlezi! Hallo! Salut! Ciao! Hoi!!

Who Am I?

In one sense, that is not a question that can be adequately answered in a few words, or even in many words; human beings, myself included, are just too complex.

Some aspects of who I am are easy to describe, though, and here are some of them.

I'm an Assistant Lecturer at the Mathematics Department of the University of Aveiro.

I was born at Nampula, Mozambique, at 16 August of 1971 (I'm 26 years old). So, besides I'm Portuguese, I'm also Makua. You can find a short curriculum of myself in the following lines:
