I am a PhD researcher in the Computer Science department at Aston University, United Kingdom. I'm exploring Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) models in my research, targeting data augmentation for semantic segmentation and object detection.

I also hold a Master in Computational and Mathematical Modeling focused in Recommender Systems from Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Minas Gerais. Additionally, I have a strong background in Software Engineering with a demonstrated history of working in the telecommunications industry.
