I am a Professor at the Institute of Informatics
at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UFMG, advised by Prof. Luiz Chaimowicz, and an MSc from UFRGS,
advised by Prof. Ana Bazzan.
My research interests are in Deep Learning in general and Reinforcement Learning in particular, and their use to empower artificial intelligence (AI) agents to solve problems in simulated or real environments.
