Ana graduated at the University of Coimbra in 2021 with a masters in Nuclear and Particle Physics. The main focus of their Master thesis was to test the compliance between Implicit Regularization (IReg) scheme with the Kinoshita–Lee–Nauenberg (KLN) theorem. The test model used was the Higgs decay rate into gluons which was modeled using an effective Lagrangian. After this, they kept on working as a scholarship researcher, working on the computation of the cross section of a photon decaying to massive quarks using IReg.
She is currently pursuing a PhD to tackle processes where one needs to deal with more complex Feynman amplitudes topologies as well as cases with more physical scales.
