I hold a degree in Data Processing Technology from the University Center of the State of Pará – CESUPA (2004), a specialization in Technical Support for Computational Systems (UFPA, 2005), a Master’s degree in Computer Science (UFPA, 2008), and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on Applied Computing (UFPA, 2012). I also completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio, 2020) in the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering (PPGEE).
I am currently a Professor III at the Faculty of Computer and Telecommunications Engineering (FCT) of the Institute of Technology at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). I am also a faculty member accredited in three graduate programs: the Graduate Program in Anthropic Studies in the Amazon (PPGEAA – since 2017), the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering (PPGEE – since 2021), and the Graduate Program in Computer Science (PPGCC – since 2025). Since 2023, I have served as Coordinator of the Applied Computing Area at PPGEE.
My academic and professional activities integrate research, teaching, and extension, with a strong focus on Applied Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science for interdisciplinary problem-solving in areas such as Data Science, Remote Sensing, Environmental Monitoring, Sustainability, Bioeconomy, Social Technologies, User Experience, and Serious Games.
I am a CNPq Productivity Fellow in Technological Development and Innovative Extension (DT-C) and currently lead and participate in several research and innovation projects funded by CNPq, CAPES, FINEP, Suframa, and Embrapii, often in collaboration with public and private institutions. I have acted as a principal investigator in national projects addressing computational modeling and data-driven approaches for sustainable development in the Amazon region.
Within UFPA, I am one of the lead researchers at the Operational Research Laboratory (LPO-UFPA) and the Intelligent Interactive Systems Laboratory (LIIS), fostering the integration of computational intelligence, data analytics, and user-centered innovation.
In addition to research and academic management, I serve as a project evaluator for national funding agencies and as an ad hoc consultant for CAPES in the interdisciplinary area, contributing to scientific policy and research evaluation processes in Brazil.
My research and leadership activities reflect a consistent commitment to advancing technological innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustainable development, especially in contexts related to the Amazon and emerging technologies applied to social and environmental challenges.
