Hello, and welcome to my home page. Currently, I work as a Professor @ UFMG. Mostly, I perform research in data science and machine learning focused on complex datasets, mainly on human and social behavior. My research is performed an LabUAI. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), as well as a BSc also in Computer Science from the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG).
