About

My name is Flávio Cruz. I was raised in Viseu, Portugal but I'm actually living in Pittsburgh, USA.

As a researcher, I am interested on Logic Programming, Distributed Systems, Compilers and Logic. I'm currently working towards my PhD in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University and University of Porto.

Outside my research, I am interested in subjects related to philosophy of mind (wasted lots of time reading books on this), evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, and maths. I love reading interesting books, listening to music, going to the cinema or just procrastinating.

You can reach me at "flaviocruz at gmail" or by phone (+351) 934 908 448 (Portugal) or 412 736 8032 (USA).
