About me
Assistant Professor at Federal University of Technology - Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil.
Former professor at Federal University of Technology - Paraná, Campo Mourão, Brazil (2023).
I am a BSc in Computer Science by Midwestern State University (UNICENTRO). I studied at the Graduate Programme of Informatics (PPGInf) of Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), where I got my Master and PhD degrees in Computer Science. I am also a member of the TEORIA research group (Theory of Computation, Optimization, and Combinatorics).
My main interests rely on approximation algorithms for complex networks using statistical learning theory.
I am a passionate researcher and science disseminator in the field of Theoretical Computer Science. I truly believe in the expansion of computational powers by the comprehension of theoretical computer science and applied areas, but besides that, I believe in a more acessible science for all, so that's why I chose to be a science disseminator in my social media profiles.
In spite of being a person that works with machines and lots of numbers, I love working and connecting with people. I love sharing my knowledge with people and showing them how fantastic the world of technology can be. I consider myself an artistic and creative person, and I believe being a music enthusiast allows me not only to have the creativity to solve problems, but it also gives me the sensibility to my personal relationships.
