I hold a teaching degree in Language and Literature, with qualifications in French and Portuguese, complemented by a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and Photography. My academic journey led me to delve into New Literacies and Remix Studies for my Ph.D. thesis. Following this, I pursued postdoctoral research at the University of São Paulo (USP), guided by Professor Walkyria Monte Mor. My professional focus is AI and digital humanities, specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP), computer vision, and related technologies.
Recently, I have been appointed as a Professor in the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of Campinas (Unicamp), enabling me to further explore my interests in new media, GenAI, ethics, and education. This role represents the fulfillment of my long-term career goals. Additionally, I have joined the Ethics and Education teams of the “Understanding Artificial Intelligence (UAI)” program at the Institute of Advanced Studies, University of São Paulo. My work in GenAI, education, and ethical considerations aligns seamlessly with the objectives of this program. I am particularly enthusiastic about leading the educational project within this group, aiming to broaden the discussion on AI ethics throughout Brazil.
