Pedro Ribeiro Mendes Júnior
I work as a researcher at Artificial Intelligence Lab. Recod.ai of the Instituto de
Computação (IC) at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) since
mid-2024, previously as a postdoctoral researcher [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15,
15].
For a great part of 2019, I have been in a short-time postdoctoral research at
Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) in Italy investigating forensic problems in the context
of open-set scenarios [7, 17].
I have obtained the M.Sc. [23] as well as Ph.D. degree [22] through UNICAMP
in Brazil — with a 1-year internship at University of Colorado Colorado
Springs (UCCS) — investigating recognition in open-set scenarios [4, 8, 10, 25,
26].
Through Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP) I had obtained the bachelor’s
degree in Computer Science [24]. During the bachelors, I had worked mainly with
digital image processing in the specific problem of vehicle license plate location [20,
21] and I concluded my education studying the Haskell functional programming
language for image processing [24].
As extra work, I have some collaborations — also in machine learning — in medical
problems [11, 12, 27], estimation of geolocation through images [18, 19],
and on the development of a framework for machine learning experiments
[9].
