In this Inside DEI, we will get to know our colleague Elsa Teixeira a little better.

• Tell us a little about yourself and your journey at IST.  

My journey at Instituto Superior Técnico began in 1988 at the Computer and Network Services (now DSI).

Over the years, I have worked in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in the Systems Section, and finally in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, since its start, where I continue to work with great satisfaction.

• Tell us a little about what you do now at DEI.  

At DEI, I have taken on various roles and collaborated in several areas over the years.

Currently, I work in the DEI Study Room, where I provide support to students.

• What do you enjoy most about your daily work at DEI?  

Working at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is a constant challenge, as there is always something new to learn. The atmosphere among colleagues is good, with mutual support across the entire team.

• Who is Elsa outside of Técnico?  

Outside of IST, I enjoy going on walks with my dog. I love traveling. In my free time, I do lacework and Arraiolos embroidery. On Sundays, there’s a family barbecue, as I love to cook.
