I am a Full Professor at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes),
Serra Campus, and a faculty member of the Graduate
Program in Applied Computing (PPComp). My research spans formal methods, logic
and system verification, artificial intelligence, and data science.
An important part of my work is building connections between academia and
industry. I lead and participate in research and development projects with
industry partners, applying computational methods to industrial processes
and engineering challenges. I aim to combine scientific rigor with solutions
that can be evaluated in real-world settings.
I co-lead the Theory and Techniques of Computation Research Group (NuTTeC) and
teach subjects including logic, theory of computation and programming. I hold a
degree in Computer Engineering and an M.Sc. in Informatics from the Federal
University of Espírito Santo, a Ph.D. in Education from
Universidad del Norte, and a Ph.D. in Computer
Science from the Graduate School of Science and
Technology of the University of Tsukuba,
Japan. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Philosophy at the Federal University
of Espírito Santo, with completion expected in 2027.
