Welcome!
Welcome to my research website!
I am currently working as CTO for a secure comms company. Previously, I worked as a researcher for the Brazilian National Institute for Digital Convergence (INCoD) at the University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis. Previously, I was a research fellow at the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, with Prof. Russell Taylor and Prof. Gregory Hager. I have obtained my PhD at the LIRMM (Laboratoire d'Informatique, de Robotique et de Microéléctronique de Montpellier). My PhD thesis was entitled 'Robust 3D Motion Tracking for Robotic-Assisted Beating Heart Surgery' and my advisor was Prof. Philippe Poignet. It was awarded the second prize in the 2010/2011 thesis awards by the Groupement de Recherche en Robotique de France (G.d.R. Robotique). Recently, I was awarded the Brazilian Science Without Borders fellowship for research in computer vision applied to surgical robotics.
2014
I have recently participated in a 2 day tutorial on Detection, Classification and Registration in CV, together with Dr. Raphael Sznitman. It took place at the ISIT (Clermont-Ferrand, France) and it was organized by Prof. Adrien Bartoli. All slides are available online. It is also in the form of a video tutorial, available on YouTube.
2013
Together with Dr. Raphael Sznitman and Dr. Sandrine Voros, we organized VTR'13: Visual Tracking and 3D Reconstruction - State of the art and challenges, a tutorial session at this year's MICCAI in Nagoya, Japan. Please visit http://www.lapix.ufsc.br/TutorialMiccai2013/ for more information.
