Welcome to my personal website! I am a research scientist with over a decade of experience in developing technologies in social signal processing, intelligent agents, generative AI, and affective computing. My expertise centers around utilizing artificial neural networks to enhance human experiences through advancements in affective computing, social signal processing, and human-robot interaction.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to designing, training, and evaluating machine learning systems that improve the understanding and modeling of human behavior in automated systems. I have advised students at various academic levels (BSc, MSc, PhD) and continue to find joy in mentoring.

In addition to my main roles, I am an external professor at the University of Pernambuco, Brazil, where I am part of the Time Visão research group. I advise students, deliver lectures, and participate in innovative projects across many related fields.

This site showcases the projects that have marked my career—from my academic tenure, achieving a PhD and continuing as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hamburg, in Germany, to my contributions as a researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology, in Genova, Italy. Currently, I am part of the Digital Profile team at Sony, driving innovation and merging scientific rigor with strategic business applications.
