About me
I am a passionate roboticist and AI researcher.
I am a bachelors student of mechatronics engineering at the University of São Paulo (USP) and, as part of a double degree program, I am pursuing a master’s degree at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in mechatronics and robotics.
My previous projects and research follow mainly the field of autonomous systems, AI and Robotics. I invite you to check my Portfolio and Publications.
I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in a research internship at the AirLab. The outcome of these six months of research was two papers published, as first and second author at IEEE - ICRA 2021.
During my master studies, I have led a research partnership between Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) and Microsoft Resarch. Focusing on the field of Natural-language-facilitated Human-Robot-Interaction, we published 2 papers at IROS 2022 and ICRA 2023. Both as first author.
In the present day, I am conducting a full-time internship at Microsoft Resarch at the Autonomous Systems and Robotics Research Group.
In 2020, I became a fellow at the Fundação Estudar Leaders Program, a Merit scholarship program for students with outstanding trajectory and academic potential (24 selected out of 40,000+ applicants), and a recipient of the AUCANI merit scholarship.
