I am a Research Engineer in the Decision Support Systems Subdivision at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEAv), part of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). My work focuses on defense-oriented decision support systems, aiming to advance national technologies for air combat simulation, missile modeling, and autonomous agents in operational scenarios. I earned my B.Sc. in Mechanical-Aeronautical Engineering from the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), Brazil, in 2015, including a year-long exchange at Stony Brook University, USA. I received my M.Sc. in Electronic and Computer Engineering from ITA in 2019 and completed my Ph.D. in Electronic and Computer Engineering in 2025. From 2021 to 2023, I was a visiting researcher at the AirLab, part of the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, USA. My research focuses on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, and Simulation, with applications in decision support and autonomy for defense systems.
