- 🎓 Master of Research (MRes) in AI/ML @ Imperial College London 🇬🇧
- 🔬 Former Research Scholar @ The University of Tokyo 🇯🇵
- ⚡ BSc in Electrical Engineering @ University of Brasília 🇧🇷
My research journey spans three continents: I began in Brazil, earning a first-class Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Brasilia and winning the Brazilian Government Scientific Initiation Scholarship Award for FPGA research with Professor Alexandre Nery. After that I worked in partnership with Cellcrypt supervised by Professor Edson Mintsu Hung researching machine learning pipelines to improve call quality by optimizing PJSIP codec parameters.
My next step was in Japan, where I received the prestigious Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship to work at The University of Tokyo under Prof. Toyotaro Suzumura, former MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab Research principal scientist. There, I collaborated with Nikkei Inc. (Japan's second-largest media company) under supervision of Dr. Yuichiro Yasui, researching news recommender systems and foundational LLMs. This resulted in a SIAM SDM'25 paper publication work on news recommenders achieving superior multilingual performance and earning the SIAM Travel Award, which recognizes promising early-career researchers in data mining.
Now at United Kingdom studying at Imperial College London, I'm pursuing an MRes in AI/ML, supervised by Prof. Pedro Mediano on generative and contrastive deep learning for predicting rare events in large-scale clinical data in partnership with the NHS.
