Biography

I am a professor of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Espírito Santo at Campus Serra. I teach mainly courses related to logic, discrete mathematics, theory of computation, functional programming, and data science. I earned my Doctoral degree in Education at the Universidad del Norte, and my Master in Informatics, and Computer Engineer degrees at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo.

I am also a member of the Techniques and Theory of Computation Research Group, Nu[TeC]². I am very passionate about computer science and have a wide range of interests, including functional and logic programming, formal methods, formal verification, artificial intelligence (both modern and classical methods), and data science. I also have a strong interest in education, especially in mathematics and computer science education at the high education level, and the use of games and gamification in education.

Projects

Alumni Observatory

One of the responsibilities of higher education institutions in Brazil is to track the professional progress of their alumni. This project aims to automate this task by monitoring students' activity in social networks.

Automated Bibliometrics

Proposes to apply state of the art in artificial intelligence to extract and aggregate knowledge about technological information to inform the generation of a technical standard for licensing the industrial processes of handling and storage of post-processed ornamental rocks.

SERVANT-ES

Aims to apply formal methods of software engineering and software verification to produce a reliable software platform for flight control of unmanned aerial vehicles.

PROPELICA

This project aims to take advantage of sensor data and machine learning algorithms to predict and prevent breakout problems study of continuous casting steel.

Big Data Multibiometric

One possible approach to address the performance issues of large scale identification systems is to use light biometric measures to reduce the search space in a first step and apply strong biometric measures in a second identification step. This project aims to investigate this approach.

BR See Turtle

Aims to develop a mobile solution to identify and map the observations of sea turtle species that occur on the Brazilian coast, using machine learning algorithms for image recognition.

Mobile Word Diction

Development of a mobile app to assist people with dysphemia to practice the diction of selected words and improve life quality and self-confidence.

PriceWebCrawler

An active price monitor for web stores, assisting customers to compare products and prices.

NÊMESIS

NÊMESIS sought to develop a reference model for information, communication, and biometric technologies for technical and scientific police. The project is developed in cooperation with the Technical Police Secretariat of the State of Espírito Santo.
