Since 2022, I am a researcher at the Faculty of Economics and Business at KU Leuven.

Before joining KU Leuven, I was  an assistant professor at the Computer Science Department at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil) from 2019 to 2022. I also held postdoctoral research positions at Charles University (2018-2019) and the University of Campinas in Brazil (2017-2018). 

I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2017 at the University of São Paulo under supervision of Yoshiko Wakabayashi.
