Welcome to my web page!

I'm a sixth-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 exploring areas that deal with processing of visual information, such as computer vision, image processing and computer graphics.

Main Research Interests

Computational Photography
Visual Surveillance
Computer Vision
Computer Graphics
Machine Learning
Intelligent User Interfaces
