Lead AI Engineer, The LEGO Group

Co-founder & CSO, SciPet

I work at The LEGO Group leading Machine Learning projects and devising solutions for our digital products. I’m also co-founder and Chief Scientist at SciPet, where I have coordinated machine learning research projects applied to animal biometrics. Besides that, I’m a researcher in Machine Learning and Computer Vision, associated to the Institute of Computing, Unicamp.

Currently, I’m an elected member of the IEEE Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee (IFS-TC) for 2023-2025.
