I’m an Associate Professor (Professor Adjunto) at the Informatics and Statistics Department (INE) of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and coordinator of the Distributed Systems Research Laboratory (LaPeSD) located at INE/UFSC. I graduated from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) in Computer Science with honors (Summa Cum Laude) in 2006 and earned my Master’s degree in Computer Science from the same university in 2009. I then received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Grenoble in 2012. My main research focuses on topics related to Parallel and Distributed Processing, including high performance computing, parallel and distributed programming models, multicore and manycore architectures, parallel scientific applications, scheduling on parallel architectures, operating systems for manycore processors, cloud computing, and artificial inteligence.

I served as Coordinator of the Special Committee on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing (Comissão Especial de Arquitetura de Computadores e Processamento de Alto Desempenho - CE-ACPAD) of the Brazilian Computer Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Computação - SBC) from 2023 to 2025, as Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Computer Science (PPGCC) at UFSC from 2023 to 2025, and as a Member of the Executive Committee of the Southern Region High Performance Computing Committee (Comissão Regional de Alto Desempenho da Região Sul - CRAD/RS) from 2021 to 2024. During my term as coordinator of PPGCC.
