About Me

I am Brazilian and I started working at the University of Twente in 2014 as a PhD candidate in the Services and Cyber-Security (SCS) group. My research targets the precise and unambiguous description of data (semantic interoperability) for ICT solutions towards seamless data integration and analytics. My PhD research focused on artificial intelligence for data integration in smart emergency services that are supported by the Internet-of-Things technologies, within the context of disaster risk reduction for smart cities. During my PhD research I published some peer-reviewed papers, and received a best paper award in the Formal Ontology for Information System conference (FOIS 2018).

Before coming to the Netherlands I graduated in computer science (bachelor) and informatics (master) in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Besides the academic career, I have experience working in industry (2001-2013), as programmer and system analyst in small companies; and as "DevOps" and enterprise architect while working for the Operator of the National Electricity System (ONS).

Currently I have been working in the application of the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) (meta)data principles in multiple contexts, such as for the reproducibility of scientific workflows (machine learning pipelines), which was the topic of my postdoctoral research at the VU Amsterdam (2019). I contribute to standardization initiatives, such as the European Telecommunication Standardization Institute (ETSI), the implementation networks of GO-FAIR and the Research Data Alliance (RDA).

I have been teaching in graduation and post graduation courses since 2008 in topics like business intelligence and data warehousing, methods and tools for Extract, Transform and Loading (ETL), On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP). I used to give on-premise courses on software engineering topics, such as software design, programming, enterprise architecture and application lifecycle management.  Currently, I am responsible for the master courses on Architecture of Information Systems, Smart Industry Systems and Linked Data/Semantic Web; and I participate in the master courses of Service-oriented Architecture with Web services, and Model-Driven Engineering. I am particularly interested in metascience; and research on constructivism and lifelong learning education.

Personally, I consider myself as a "family guy" I love to spend time with my son and my wife, as well as with relatives and friends. I am a sports' lover, I enjoy watching any type of sports, and I like to run, surf and play soccer. I like gardening and making (and eating!) food, particularly Brazilian-style barbecue with "picanha".
