Short bio
I graduated in Computing Engineering in the Federal University of the Rio Grande do Norte. There, I was engaged during two years with a scholarship on the SimOrg reseach project, coordinated by Dr. Anne M. P. Canuto and Dr. André M. C. Campos. This project tackled the simulation of human organization through multiagent system, we delivered some papers about the SIMORG.
During the college, I also worked in the classifier ensemble field, studying the impact of diversity in dynamic classifier selection method. I also published a paper approaching the exploration task with multiagent systems.
In the M.Phil. course, I work in two topics on evolutionary computation, one in the context of unsupervised learning and the other on RBF networks optimization, both under the Prof. Teresa Ludermir's supervision.
I worked in the MASCAAT Project (Meta-Learning for Selection and Combination of Clustering Algorithms Applied to Gene Expression Analysis), a coolaborative project between Brazil and Germany, such project was run in the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics. In this context, I spent about three months (from May 25th 2007 to August 15th 2007) in Berlin-Germany developing the project with the Professor Teresa Ludermir's supervision. I took the subject of this project as my dissertation theme, that I'm presently writing and publishing some related works.
I've been granted a scholarship for porsuing the Ph.D. degree. The grant is from CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior), brazilian funding agency. Currently, I'm a doctoral reseacher in The University of Birmingham under the supervision of Prof. Xin Yao. My ongoing research is focused on the Semi-supervised classification problem.
