Did you know I studied electrical engineering besides work? On Thursday, I finished my bachelor's thesis with the final presentation and it's time to finally present my project: ZEReader, a microcontroller-based E-Reader.
Inspired by the Open Book Project by Joey Castillo, I designed my own platform from scratch. My focus was on building a reader usable in everyday life that is capable of handling books in the EPUB format. The project is still in a very early phase, but it shows…

Enjoying @… so far. Good talks, good venue.

Amplifying Effective CXL Memory Bandwidth for LLM Inference via Transparent Near-Data Processing
Large language model (LLM) inference is bottlenecked by the limited bandwidth of CXL-based memory used for capacity expansion. We introduce CXL-NDP, a transparent near-data processing architecture that amplifies effective CXL bandwidth without requiring changes to the CXL.mem interface or AI models. CXL-NDP integrates a precision-scalable bit-plane layout for dynamic quantization with transparent lossless compression of weights and KV caches directly within the CXL device. In end-to-end serving…

Olha, Portugal ali em primeiro.
Curioso que quando nos ensinam na escola os descobrimentos nem sempre nos digam também que "descobrimentos" sempre implicaram imperialismo e colonialismo e o que deles vem.
Em grande medida, Portugal criou o mundo moderno. Com o que isso tem de bom E com o (muito) que tem de mau. Mas por cš raramente se fala do mau.

CHEX-MATE: New detections and properties of the radio diffuse emission in massive clusters with MeerKAT
Modern radio telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of non-thermal phenomena within galaxy clusters, collecting large samples of extended sources with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. In this work, we present novel MeerKAT observations for a sample of 21 galaxy clusters being part of the CHEX-MATE project. These systems were selected based on their high mass and displaying signs of dynamical activity. Thanks to the high-quality data in hand, we detect extended radio e…

Mix-modal Federated Learning for MRI Image Segmentation
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image segmentation is crucial in diagnosing and treating many diseases, such as brain tumors. Existing MRI image segmentation methods mainly fall into a centralized multimodal paradigm, which is inapplicable in engineering non-centralized mix-modal medical scenarios. In this situation, each distributed client (hospital) processes multiple mixed MRI modalities, and the modality set and image data for each client are diverse, suffering from extensive client-wise m…

Observing Two-Particle Correlation Dynamics in Tunable Superconducting Bose-Hubbard Simulators
The generation and propagation of quantum correlations are central to understanding many dynamical properties of quantum systems, yet their precise experimental control and characterization remain a key challenge. Here we experimentally study the two-particle correlation dynamics via quantum walks in superconducting Bose-Hubbard qutrit arrays, with tunable on-site interaction $U$ realized by Floquet engineering. Quantum walks show the characteristic change from bosonic bunching to fermionic ant…

A Machine Learning-Fueled Modelfluid for Flowsheet Optimization
Process optimization in chemical engineering may be hindered by the limited availability of reliable thermodynamic data for fluid mixtures. Remarkable progress is being made in predicting thermodynamic mixture properties by machine learning techniques. The vast information provided by these prediction methods enables new possibilities in process optimization. This work introduces a novel modelfluid representation that is designed to seamlessly integrate these ML-predicted data directly into…

Community-Centered Spatial Intelligence for Climate Adaptation at Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore
This paper presents an overview of a human-centered initiative aimed at strengthening climate resilience along Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. This region, a collection of rural villages with deep ties to the sea, faces existential threats from climate change that endanger its way of life. Our project moves beyond a purely technical response, weaving together expertise from Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, and Coastal Geography to co-create tools with the community. By integrating generat…
