Assistant Professor
Operations and Supply Chain and Data Analytics
Cleveland State University
I am an Assistant Professor in the OSM department at CSU. Originally from Brazil, I obtained my Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Rutgers University. I have experience developing and implementing machine-learning applications at American Express. I have also worked in the development of deep-learning models for the classification of exoplanets at NASA Ames in California. My research focuses on stochastic modeling, game theory, data science, and machine learning applied to healthcare, transportation reliability, and retail operations.
