Welcome to my web page!

I'm a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My advisor is Prof. Matthew Turk. Prior to starting my doctoral studies, I got my BSc and MSc degrees, also in Computer Science, from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am interested in a broad range of subjects in computer science, and recently I have been enjoying working on areas that deal with images, such as computer vision, image processing and computer graphics. In this page I summarize some of my endeavors in the field.

Main Research Interests

Computational Photography
Computer Vision
Computer Graphics
Machine Learning
Intelligent User Interfaces
