I am a Professor at the Alegrete Campus of the Federal University of Pampa (Unipampa). My academic leadership includes serving as Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Software Engineering (PPGES) from 2022 to 2024. I am an active member of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and hold doctoral and master’s degrees from UFRGS. My international experience includes a visiting researcher position at TELECOM ParisTech and the Laboratory of Information, Networking and Communication Sciences (LINCS) in France.

1. Applied Machine Learning & AI for Systems, Cybersecurity and Data
-
Focus: Leverage Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve practical data challenges.
-
Potential Project Examples:
-
Intelligent Data Correction for Networks: Develop an ML model to automatically identify and correct errors in large-scale datasets from networked systems (e.g., log files, network flow data).
-
LLM-Powered Data Generation: Use an LLM to generate synthetic, but realistic, datasets for training network intrusion detection systems where real data is scarce or sensitive.
-
Computer Vision for Species Monitoring: Build a DL model to classify mosquito species from image captures, contributing to public health monitoring systems.
-
2. Innovation in Network & Cybersecurity
-
Focus: Create software solutions to automate and optimize the management of complex networks and systems.
-
Potential Project Examples:
-
ISP Network Optimization Tool: Design a system to analyze network performance data and recommend optimal traffic routing paths or identify potential congestion points for an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
-
Cloud Cost & Performance Monitor for Content Providers: Develop a dashboard that aggregates data from cloud platforms (like AWS, Azure) to visualize costs and performance, helping teams optimize resource usage.
-
Automated Firewall Policy Manager: Create a tool that simplifies the management of complex firewall rules, perhaps using a high-level policy language that compiles down to specific device configurations.
-
3. Software Solutions for Agricultural Technology (AgriTech)
-
Focus: Apply software engineering principles to improve efficiency and decision-making in agricultural systems.
-
Potential Project Examples:
-
IoT Sensor Data Platform: Develop a system to collect, process, and visualize data from field sensors (e.g., soil moisture, temperature) to assist with irrigation and crop management.
-
Predictive Analytics for Yield Estimation: Create an ML model that uses historical weather, soil, and satellite imagery data to predict crop yields for a farm.
-
Supply Chain Traceability System: Design a blockchain or database-driven application to track the provenance of agricultural products from farm to consumer.
