I’m an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Ohio Wesleyan University. I greatly enjoy teaching and interacting with students in the classroom, and I have been doing that in some capacity since my undergrad! You can find out more on my teaching page.

On the research side, I am currently focusing on two main areas: applications of machine learning in low-power systems and the development of innovative teaching tools. You can see a little more about my research here. I also like working with undergrad students on projects; if you’re an OWU student interested in working with me, please reach out!

Before I joined OWU, I was an Assistant Teaching Professor at NC State. During that time, I served as the course coordinator and instructor for Computer Organization, was involved with the Latino Association of Computer Scientists, and taught various other courses.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Irvine, where I worked with Prof. Nikil Dutt on the Information Processing Factory project. My research focused on emergent behaviors and fault detection of systems. From a big-picture view, I explored how we can enable self-driving vehicles to detect unexpected situations and decide how to best react to them.

Prior to UCI, I attended the University of Brasília, where I got a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Computer Science. While at UnB, I worked with Prof. Genaína Rodrigues researching dependable distributed systems, more specifically, implied scenarios.

In my free time, I like to watch movies, play games, and sometimes develop small apps. You can find more about my hobbies on my other page.
