Diego Haddad holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from COPPE/UFRJ (2013), a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (2008) from the same institution, and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on Telecommunications from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (2005). He is a professor at the CEFET-RJ, working mainly in the areas of adaptive filtering, symbolic regression, stochastic models, robotics, artificial intelligence, and computer vision. He has supervised 8 Ph.D. students and 15 Master’s students. He teaches in the undergraduate Computer Engineering program (CEFET-RJ, Petrópolis campus), the Master’s Program in Electrical Engineering (PPEEL-CEFET/RJ), and the Doctoral Program in Instrumentation and Applied Optics (PPGIO), a joint program between CEFET/RJ and Fluminense Federal University. He has received research funding from several Brazilian agencies (including FAPERJ APQ1 calls and the CNPq Universal call). In 2021, he was awarded the Young Scientist grant from FAPERJ, and in 2022 he became a CNPq Productivity Fellow. He served as coordinator of the Master’s Program in Electrical Engineering (PPEEL) from 2018 to 2020 and was a member of the CAPES evaluation committee for Graduate Programs in Engineering IV for the 2017–2020 assessment period. He is a reviewer for several international journals. He has been a member of the Technical Program Committee of the AES Brazil Audio Engineering Congress (2011, 2014, and 2015), the Brazilian Telecommunications Society (for several years), the Offshore Technology Conference (2011), and the Regional Meeting on Applied and Computational Mathematics (Region 6). He is currently a member of the Brazilian Telecommunications Society and the IEEE.
