Research Scientist

I'm currently a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Computer Science at UFMG. My work explores the intersection of technology and society, focusing on Social Computing to address human behavior and societal issues such as misinformation, hate speech, and cultural representation. I'm also passionate about the ethical dimensions of technology, particularly Responsible AI, examining fairness, transparency, and governance in technology.

With a solid background in both academia and industry, I bring a unique perspective to tackle complex challenges and contribute to understanding how technology impacts society.
