Person

Background:

I recently joined CERI for a PhD exchange period under the supervision of Prof. Tulio de Oliveira. I am a professor at the Federal University of Vales do Jequitinhonha and Mucuri (UFVJM) and co-founder of an NGO that teaches programming to young and socially vulnerable girls (Código X). Currently, I'm enrolled in a PhD in Bioinformatics with a focus on predicting the effects of mutations in the structure and function of proteins

I have been working with Information Technology for over 10 years, my previous experience includes Project Management, Web Development, Software Engineering, Software Reliability, among others. Currently, my main focus is on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and its applications in biological data.
