Computer Networks and Intelligent Communication Systems
My research focuses on the design, optimization and intelligent management of communication networks, with emphasis on optical networking, artificial intelligence and future network architectures.
About
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (IME-USP), University of São Paulo.
I received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Alagoas in 2011, and a Master's degree and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in 2014 and 2018, respectively. I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Computer Science at UNICAMP in 2019.
My research combines computer networking, optical communication, machine learning and optimization to address challenges in high-capacity and future communication infrastructures.
