Presentation
Currently I am an associate professor in the Department of Informatics and Applied Mathematics (DIMAp) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). In 2004 I received my Ph.D. degree from the School of Computing, University of Leeds, sponsored by CAPES, the Brazilian Ministry of Education Agency. There I was part of the Visualization Research Group, and worked under supervision of Professor Ken Brodlie.
My Ph.D. research focused on algorithms to visualise high-dimensional data, i.e. multidimensional and multivariate data spaces. The former is usually associated with scientific visualization domain, whereas the latter can be regarded as an important subset of the information visualization domain. Common to both types of high-dimensional visualization is a need to reduce the dimensionality for display.
My current research interests are virtual reality, game development, illustrative rendering, and data visualization. My curriculum (in Portuguese) is available from the CNPq's Lattes system.
That's me in 2003.
