About

Currently, I'm a Ph.D. Researcher at the Institute of Informatics of the University of Zurich (UZH), in Switzerland. I hold M.Sc. (2009) and B.Sc. (2006) degrees in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), and Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, respectively.

During my M.Sc. degree I've worked in a research project called ChangeLedge funded by Hewlett-Packard R&D Brazil, that was focused in theChange Management in Information Technology (IT) systems. More specifically, it was developed a solution to support Rollback in IT Change Management systems. At 2008 I've made an internship at HP Labs Bristol, UK, since ChangeLedge was a joint project between UFRGS and HP Labs.

In the past, I also developed some research in Network Security area (more focused to printer devices) with projects funded by Hewlett-Packard.

My publications (during B.Sc. and M.Sc.) can be reached here.
