As a social computing researcher, I am currently working on a postdoctoral project using AI with public health data to derive local health indicators, like Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases by looking at local and socio-economic information. With seven years of experience as a research scientist at IBM Research Labs, I have consistently contributed to the development of innovative solutions. I'm really passionate about understanding and solving social problems, such as false information, hate speech, and gender inequality. I'm also involved in academic activities, like helping organize web conferences and reviewing articles for respected journals. Recent publications in top-tier venues such as ICWSM, The Web Conference, CHI, and Web Science underscore my commitment to impactful research. Additionally, I am deeply involved in initiatives promoting diversity in STEM, co-creating the WINDS (Women in Data Science) workshop.

Holding a Ph.D. from UFMG in Brazil and an MA degree from Boston University, I am eager to bring my expertise to new opportunities that align with my commitment to understanding and addressing problems using data.
