About Me
I am Assistant Professor in Computer Science & Engineering at Lehigh University. Before joining Lehigh, I worked as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the GRASP Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania, with Prof. Vijay Kumar.
I completed my PhD in Artifical Intelligence and Robotics, advised by Prof. Mario Fernando Campos , and Prof. Renato Assunção, in the Laboratory of Computer Vision and Robotics – VeRLab, Department of Computer Science at Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Research Interests
