I am a Professor and Research Scientist with a background in both academic and industrial applied research (IBM, Embraer, ZF).
Currently I am a Professor at PUCPR (Brazil).
I’m a visiting scientist at FAU DCN-AvH, the Chair for Dynamics, Control, Machine Learning and Numerics – Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Bavaria (Germany), to collaborate under an ERC/CNPq agreement in the broad area of system identification, machine learning, and model predictive control for complex robotic systems.
