I am a professor in the Department of Computing at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI), Brazil. My research focuses on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and intelligent software systems, with particular interest in how data and AI techniques can support the development, evolution, and sustainability of large software systems.
My work spans several areas of empirical software engineering, including mining software repositories, knowledge concentration in software projects, developer productivity, and socio-technical aspects of software development.
More recently, my research has expanded to the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering, including the impact of generative AI on software development practices and the engineering challenges involved in building reliable AI-based systems.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), with a research period at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). I also hold a Master’s degree from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI).
Beyond academic research, I am actively involved in initiatives connecting AI research, infrastructure, and innovation, including projects focused on computational infrastructure for AI and data-driven solutions for public-sector challenges.
My interests include:
- Software Engineering
- Mining Software Repositories
- Developer Productivity and Knowledge Distribution
- Empirical Software Engineering
- Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering
- Generative AI in Software Development
- AI Infrastructure for Research
I welcome opportunities for research collaboration, student supervision, and interdisciplinary projects involving AI and software engineering.
