Brief Bio
I am a Research Scientist at IBM Research Brazil, coordinating research projects in the area of Smart Social Systems.
I have over 17 years of IT Industry experience, with practice in business, R&D, and education. During this time, I accumulated extensive international and cross-cultural experiences, having worked in Brazil, USA (2 years), the Netherlands (6 years) and Australia (4 years). My background mixes Academic, Business, and Technical background, including:
- Technologies to promote Social Inclusion
- Smarter Content Delivery
- Project Proposals for both commercial and R&D engagements, providing support to both technical and business items.
- Hands-on software programming experience, using Java, C, C++, and PERL.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Sciences (2009) in the Department of Information and Computing Systems, Utrecht University (UU), Netherlands, in collaboration with the Department of Information Systems, University of Melbourne, Australia. UU is the best university in the Netherlands, 11th in Europe and 52nd worldwide according to the ‘Academic Ranking of World Universities’, in 2009. My thesis was about “An Agent-Based Model for the Development of Intelligent Mobile Services” (details here).
