Background
Tenured Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science (DCC) at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Research focuses on improving Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers for formal verification and enhancing their trustworthiness through proof certificate generation and checking.
Senior technical lead for the state-of-the-art SMT solver cvc5.
Research currently supported by DARPA, CAPES, and Amazon Web Services.
Actively seeking motivated undergraduate, master's, and PhD students to work on the above topics.
