Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartha Ferreira is a Defence Scientist based in Halifax with nine years of experience applying machine learning and visualization to real-world problems across defence, healthcare, marine safety, and manufacturing. She holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of São Paulo with research in deep learning, convolutional neural networks, and statistical learning theory, and has translated that theory into applied systems for near-real-time decision support. Her postdoctoral work at Dalhousie focused on active learning, interpretability, and visual analytics to help users understand model suggestions for infectious disease monitoring and detecting suspicious marine activities. At NovaResp she rapidly prototyped ML and deep learning models from messy data, and at DRDC she now brings that applied rigor to defence research challenges. Colleagues describe her as a researcher-engineer who blends strong theoretical foundations with a pragmatic focus on usability and interpretability in high-stakes environments.
