I am a Brazilian bioinformatics researcher, pursuing a degree in physical and biomolecular sciences at the University of São Paulo. My background includes a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and specific knowledge in molecular biology, coupled with a deep interest in data science. My research has a dual focus. Firstly, I aim to create machine learning tools that benefit biological science researchers. Additionally, I seek to merge traditional computational molecular biology approaches with machine learning tools. This integration aims to strengthen the field of research by harmonizing these two knowledge domains.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, with expertise in AI, bioinformatics, and data science. I aim to create AI solutions that benefit society, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. My work on democratizing AI for biology has received awards, including the Google Latin America Research Awards in 2021 and recognition in global competitions. My projects also focus on AI education and combating fake news.

Full Professor since 2006 and currently Director since 2022 of the Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at the University of São Paulo (ICMC-USP), São Carlos Campus, Research Productivity Fellow 1A of CNPq. He coordinates the IARA network, Artificial Intelligence Recreating Environments. He leads the WG12.2 Working Group on Machine Learning and Data Mining of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).
