Short Bio
I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University Federal of Ceará, and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Coimbra, Portugal. My Ph.D. supervisor was Professor Rui Araújo. I have worked in several R&D projects from different areas along my Engineering career, for more details please check Previous research tab. My general research interests includes (but not limited to) data mining, applied machine learning, process control, grounding systems and data-driven process understanding.
I am now a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Institute of Systems and Robotics in Coimbra, Portugal. Currently, I am working on semi-supervised learning for regression models with application to soft sensors. For more details check my Current research tab on the left.
Check out my Publications page or my Google Scholar page or my Lattes CV (Portuguese) for more info on my research.
