I'm an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science (DI) and also collaborating faculty of the Graduate Program in Computer Science (PPGI) at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo.  I hold a Ph.D. (2015) from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais advised by Professors José Marcos Silva Nogueira and Daniel Macedo,  and also, an International jointly Ph.D. from the Université Paris-Est, advised by Professor Yacine Ghamri-Doudane. During my Ph.D. and postdoc (2016), I  investigated Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, where I was lucky to work and cooperate with the  Wireless Network Group. My Thesis is available here.

I've been working with wireless networking and communication in the context of smart cities and future Internet. My research interests are:

  • Privacy on Internet of Things
    • Privacy Techniques for sharing sensitive IoT datasets
    • Federated Learning
    • Generative Time Series
  • Data Science for Smart Cities
    • Urban Computing
    • Mobility prediction and characterization
    • Crowdsensing (humans as mobile sensors)
    • User behavior/traffic characterization on mobile networks
    • Internet of Things (Data aggregation & data Analysis)
