About me
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Instituto Federal Catarinense (IFC) - Campus Blumenau. Joined the Informatics Graduate Program (PPGInf) at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) as a Master's student in 2024, accelerating directly into the Ph.D. in Computer Science in June 2025. My graduate research studies deep learning-driven computer vision methodologies for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).
