about me

I am a PhD candidate at Laboratory of Image Data Science (LIDS) from Institute of Computing (IC), University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil.

I have a solid theoretical background and practical experience in machine learning and data science solutions for pattern classification and data annotation problems.

My research interests are:
- (interactive) machine learning
- deep learning
- data labeling
- dimensionality reduction
- explainable artificial inteligence
- visual analytics

Also, I have been serving as reviewer in the peer-review process in some international journals and conferences as Pattern Recongnition Letters Journal, Computers in Biology and Medicine Journal, Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), and Conference on Graphics, Patterns and Images (SIBGRAPI).
