I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Informatics at PUC-Rio. My research field is Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain Technology regarding to data regulation, governance, and privacy. I am member of DASLAB and SERG/EMAPS and my research is supervisioned by professors Helio Lopes and Clarisse de Souza. Also, I am a member of ISO/TC 307 Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies .

I received my MSc in Software Engineering from PUC-Rio in 2017, where I studied Multiagent Systems with cognitive intelligence. The BDI (Belief, Desire and Intention) agents are able to perform decision making process based on their knowledge. I gather such concept with the Big 5 personal traits to develop intelligent agents with personal traits to simulate the agents behaviour in different ocasions.

Furthermore, I have worked as a Blockchain researcher in Laboratory of Software Engineering at the same university. I have applied the blockchain concepts in the Oil and Gas sector. The Research, Develpment and Innovation (RD&I) projects have approached business process modelling, multi-party relationships, enterprise ballots, and digital signature.
