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 [1], previously as a postdoctoral researcher [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 14, 15, 16,
17].
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 [8, 18].
Through Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP) I had obtained the bachelor’s
degree in Computer Science [25]. During the bachelors, I had worked mainly with
digital image processing in the specific problem of vehicle license plate location [21,
22] and I concluded my education studying the Haskell functional programming
language for image processing [25].
As extra work, I have some collaborations — also in machine learning — in medical
problems [12, 13, 28], estimation of geolocation through images [19, 20],
and on the development of a framework for machine learning experiments
[10].
