I am a last year PhD student advised by Dr. Ricardo Jacobi (University of Brasília) and co-advise Dr. Anderson Nascimento(University of Washington) in the Computer Science Department at the University of Brasília.

I am broadly interested in Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning. Currently, my research focuses on privacy-preserving machine learning and cybersecurity.

I earned my Master's in Computer Engineering advised by Paulo Barreto from the University of São Paulo in 2010 with a thesis on Analyzing the feasibility of implementing post-quantum algorithms based on multivariate quadratic quasigroups processing platforms is limited. I receive my Bachelor's in Computer Science from University of Amazonas in 2003.

I like drawing, reading, and watching movies when I am not working.
