About Me

Hi! I am an AI Researcher working as a Member of Technical Staff at Adaption Labs.

Before that, I was a Research Engineer at Nomic AI. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the São Paulo State University (UNESP) in 2023. My primary research interest is in unsupervised learning and embeddings for data understanding and improvement. My research focuses mostly on developing new approaches that improve practitioners’ understanding of high-dimensional spaces.

Research Interests

• Machine Learning: manifold learning, model explainability
• NLP: data efficiency, synthetic data generation, concept learning

News
