Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science, a joint program between UFMG in Brazil and UniTo in Italy. I have been in the field of computing for over 20 years and throughout those years I have worked with software development, project management, and teaching various subjects. Specifically, I am returning to academia as a PhD candidate to study and promote the particularities of children and adolescents on social media. In addition to this group, I am also part of a research laboratory called LOCUS in Brazil, led by Professor Jussara Almeida, focusing on Social Computing.
