About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), where my research focuses on applying deep learning and computer vision to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the Instituto Federal Catarinense (IFC) in 2023. After beginning my master's studies at UFPR in 2024, I was approved for an accelerated transition to the doctoral program in June 2025.
