Catarina Silva graduated in Electrical Engineering and received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal, in 1997, 2000, and 2009, respectively. She teaches at the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal since 1997. She is also a Researcher in the Adaptive Computation Group of the Centre for Informatics and Systems, University of Coimbra. Her research interests include intelligent systems, machine learning and their applications, especially text classification, and mobile application development. She is the author and co-author of several books, circa 10 journal articles and 50 conference papers. 

Catarina Silva is vice-chair of IEEE Portugal and president of the general assembly of the Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition. In her professional experience she was the coordinator of the BSc. in Computer Engineering and organized and chaired several events that involved different persons with different backgrounds, namely faculty, students, alumni and companies. Such events included meetings, conferences, and seminars ranging from 2-hour events with one invited speaker and 50 participants to 2 or 3 day events with over 200 participants. 

Internationally she also was in the organizing committee of international conferences, where valuable experience regarding all organizing aspects was obtained.
