Hi there!
I received my Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), Sorocaba campus, in 2024. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted two funded research projects in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), including an international research internship. I am currently a Master’s (MSc) student in the Graduate Program in Computer Science (PPGCC) at UFSCar and a member of the Intelligent Systems and Data Science Laboratory (LaSID). My MSc research focuses on applying AI and ML to intelligent traffic safety in smart cities.
