Hello!... Thanks for visiting my page / entry
[edit] Personal info
I am Brazilian, born in the city of Belo Horizonte, MG in 17/02/1981. I moved in 10/2007 to São Paulo, SP.
[edit] Professional info
I graduated in Electrial Engineering at the UFMG in the end of 2004. I started my graduate studies (master's) at UNICAMP, and I'm currently at USP (doctorate).
Since teenager I have often helped my mother in her informatics consulting firm. My first official job was as intern at a R&D company called Excegen, trying to identify genetic patterns in oxes. At UNICAMP I had a brief participation in a project related to the new digital television standard. After that I received CAPES scholarships.
Me studying at the CEFALA, UFMG

[edit] Research
As someone who seeks to use the scientific method, I am a scientist, but I also like to see myself as a philosopher of Epistemology, Psychology and Cognitive Science that life turned into an engineer.
My main research interests are signal processing, information theory, (artificial) intelligence, pattern recognition and mathematical/physical modeling of human behavior in general. I contribute to a research group called CEFALA at UFMG, and today I work at LTI at USP.
My master's research was about overdrive distortion, the dynamics of the guitar strings and overdrive perception. I am also interested in the perception of reverberation and in computational music composition, always concerned with electronic, hard-rock and electric-blues music. My doctoral studies involve Mobile robotics and Reinforcement Learning.
[edit] Articles
I write a lot of stuff that will end up in "history's garbage can" (I stole that from a Freeman Dyson text). I had a blog in portuguese, called LIFO. I started another one (for no good reason) called phylogroky, and I also have a blog at Nature Network.
Some of my articles get published sometimes...
PUBLISHED
- One about the implementation of a program that generates a 3D model of a talking head from speech signals
- Other about perception of overdrive, in the II SMCT
UNPUBLISHED
- One about a way to encode high-quality regions in JPEG files exploring the overflow in the multiplication at the decoder.
- Other I will write about applying blind equalisation to vowels, to find an impulsive excitation signal (IF I don't see any other article about this :D )
