During my Masters and later on my PhD (CIn/UFPE - Brazil) I researched about intelligent agents, context awareness, natural language processing, machine learning, social networks and middleware. As an outcome of my PhD research, awarded as Best PhD Thesis according to the Brazilian Computer Society in in Congress on Computers in Education - 2013, a framework that collects, integrate and analyse data from different virtual web environments was specified and developed. My biggest challenge when researching was to create a concept where different systems, devices and data were integrated as an unique distributed and personalised learning system. I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (CAPES), Department of Computing and Information Systems, The University of Melbourne - Australia. The project I am working on is Human Systems for Sustainability in the University Campus - The "Living Campus" Experiment (Carlton Connect Initiatives Fund) awarded by University of Melbourne ? 2014.Parallel to my research, I worked for 12 years as a Senior System Engineer and Technical Consultant at CESAR (Recife-Pernambuco/Brazil) leading Motorola, Samsung, Compal Electronics and Gemalto international projects. My main responsibilities were to bring innovative solutions to these companies as well as lead technical cross-disciplinary teams in charge of each project. I have experience in various areas, including: (i) e-learning; (ii) context awareness; (iii) distributed systems; (iv) mobile devices; (v) software engineering/architectures; (vi) social networks.Furthermore, for five years I have been teaching subjects in Computer Science and Digital Games courses in important universities in Pernambuco State, Brazil. Some of the subjects are: Programming I, Programming II, Programming Practice, Data Structures, Graphs Theory, Formal Languages, Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
