I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, FL, since 2022. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 2022, under the direction of Dr. Xiaobo Sharon Hu and Dr. Michael Niemier. I also received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2016, under the direction of Dr.-Ing. Frank Sill Torres, and a B.S. in Electronic Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2012. My research exploits beyond CMOS technologies for the design of fast, energy-efficient, and reliable hardware accelerator kernels to be used in data-intensive application scenarios. I am the author of more than 35 articles in journals such as IEEE TVLSI, IEEE TCAD, IEEE Design and Test, and Nature Electronics, as well as renowned conferences including DAC, DATE, ICCAD, ISLPED, and ASP-DAC. I was awarded the best paper award at the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and Low Power Design in 2018 (ISLPED’18) for my paper “Computing in Memory with FeFETs”. Furthermore, I was a recipient of the Cadence Women in Technology (WIT) Scholarship 2018/2019, in recognition of my efforts toward the inclusion of women in STEM fields.
