I received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Coimbra, Portugal (2015), the M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (2010) and the B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Pelotas, Brazil (2009).
Since 2016, I am a professor with the Technology Development Center (CDTec) at the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), Brazil. I am a supervisor in the Graduate Program in Computing (PPGC) and a CNPq Research Productivity Fellow Level 2 (PQ-2). I am also a Senior Member of the IEEE, a member of the IEEE SPS and CAS societies, and a member of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and the Brazilian Microelectronics Society (SBMicro).
As a researcher, I am a member of the Video Technology Research Group (ViTech). I have more than 15 years of experience in the field of visual signal processing, with my main activities focused on developing low-complexity and energy-efficient video coding solutions. I am the author of more than 100 scientific papers which received more than 1,400 citations, one book and two patent applications.
My main research interests and expertise include:
-
- Visual signal processing;
- Video coding algorithms and standards;
- Machine learning and deep learning for multimedia applications;
- Energy-efficient hardware design and computing systems.
