ABOUT
Research with a practical purpose.
Dr. Silvio Ereno Quincozes is a professor at the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA), in Alegrete, Brazil. He coordinates PPGES and leads AI Horizon Labs, bringing together research in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software engineering, and technology-enhanced education.
His work explores intrusion detection, the security of cyber-physical systems and IoT networks, and the use of machine learning and explainable AI to support security decisions. As a project coordinator and researcher, he contributes to initiatives spanning realistic datasets, experimental platforms, incident-response tools, and educational software.
He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Fluminense Federal University (UFF), including a research period at the University of Pittsburgh; a master’s degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM); and a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from UNIPAMPA.

A selection of projects he coordinates, has created, or contributes to through collaborative research.
01 / CREATOR · DOCTORAL RESEARCH
ERENO
Realistic data for smarter grid security.
An open-source framework for generating IEC 61850 intrusion detection datasets. ERENO brings together communication and electrical-domain features to support the development and evaluation of security solutions for digital substations.
02 / PROJECT COORDINATOR
Codefólio
Build. Document. Share.
An educational and university outreach initiative connecting software development, digital portfolios, and knowledge sharing. Codefólio encourages students to demonstrate their skills through practical projects, tutorials, and collaborative learning.
03 / RESEARCHER · RNP WORKING GROUP
GT-IoTEdu
Making institutional IoT easier and safer.
A collaborative initiative for secure IoT adoption in educational institutions. The platform combines device registration, network security, monitoring, and automated responses, with contributions spanning research and tool development.
04 / CO-AUTHOR · IOTEDU ECOSYSTEM
IoT-Zoo
Diversity-first experimentation.
A container-based framework for heterogeneous IoT device profiles and reproducible traffic capture. The testbed supports multi-domain experiments for network analysis, cybersecurity research, and teaching.
05 / RESEARCHER · RNP COLLABORATION
GT-LFI
Learning from real security incidents.
Learning From Incidents combines artificial intelligence, gamification, and collaborative learning to support incident-response education and security operations. Its tools address incident anonymization, classification, and playbook generation.
06 / RESEARCH TEAM MEMBER
Jev IDS
Exploring System One Models for intrusion detection.
An independent research prototype investigating flow-based intrusion detection with Jev. The project compares predictive performance, latency, and inference cost against generative language models and conventional machine-learning baselines.
