Education
Postdoc at Cornell University (USA), under Kilian Weinberger; Postdoc at Aalto University (Finland), under Vikas Garg and Samuel Kaski.
Background
Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Federal Institute of Ceara (IFCE). Research interests include advancing machine learning to deal with structured data (e.g., graphs and sequences) in several application domains such as recommender systems, computational social science, computational finance, and drug discovery. Recent works cover topological & geometric deep learning, explainable AI, temporal graph learning, simulation-based inference, generative modeling (GFlowNets), and graph neural networks.
Miscellany
Three PhD positions open, application deadline: November 7, 2025; Two M.Sc. positions open, topics include topological deep learning and temporal graph learning.
