About
Professor & Researcher at UTFPR.
I am a Professor and Researcher at the Federal University of Technology Paraná (UTFPR). I hold a scholarship from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) for a project on biometric analysis of newborns. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science Artificial Intelligence from the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR), through the Academic Doctorate for Innovation (DAI) program in partnership with UpFlux. I also have a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on Dynamic Systems from UTFPR, where I conducted research in modeling and control of Discrete Event Systems. Additionally, I specialized in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data at the University of São Paulo (USP). During my undergraduate studies in Computer Engineering at UTFPR, which included a study exchange at Pennsylvania State University, I completed a research internship in the Department of Computer Science at New York University (NYU), USA. Throughout my academic journey, I engaged in Scientific Initiation projects, developing web solutions for Programming, Linear Algebra, Economic Engineering, and Public Management.
