About Me
I work to position Data and AI at the core of business and operations aiming to deliver value to customers and society.
I am a Data & AI Solution Architect and Research Leader with client-face experience, working to place Computational Intelligence and Data Sciences at the core of business and operations.
I am working with IBM in projects around Enterprise AI and Distributed AI focusing on the Telco industry. I am a former Director of Research with Samsung were I promoted a research agenda around Human-centered IoT and Intelligent Mobile Services.
Moreover, I have a long-track academic interaction as a Honorary Senior Fellow, Research Fellow at UniMelb, and Invited Professor at Korea University, UNICAMP, and PUC-Campinas.
I hold a PhD in Computer Sciences from Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Computer Sciences from UFSC, Brazil.
Academic & Research
My research is motivated by the following overreaching question:
How to understand, anticipate, and promote the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the way people and organizations think, work, and collaborate?
I am particularly interested in the construction of reasoning machinery for decision-making in complex operation settings. I believe that advancing AI demands new ways to understand and influence information flows, architectures for insight generation, and AI-centric operational models.
I also have a surging interest in Synthetic Data Generation for distributed and social systems, along with advanced ways for behavior analysis and reversing engineering in social systems.
