Biography

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.

  • Advanced Programming Techniques

    Bachelor's in Information Systems

    This course introduces students to the design and implementation of fundamental data structures and algorithms. The course covers basic data structures, search and ordering algorithms, basic analysis of algorithms.

  • Analysis and Complexity of Algorithms

    Professional Master's in Applied Computing

    This course is an introduction to models of computation, computability and complexity. She tries to present a vision of computer science beyond computers. That is, computer science as a set of mathematical tools to understand complex systems.

  • Formal Languages and Automata Theory

    Bachelor's in Information Systems

    Automata theory is the study of abstract machines or automata, as well as computational problems that can be solved using these objects.

  • Special Topics in Artificial Intelligence II

    Professional Master's in Applied Computing

    Discipline aimed at complementing training on topics of fundamentals of computing for students of the master's program from areas related to computing.
