Welcome to my personal page

I am a researcher on multiagent systems, BDI agent reasoning and normative reasoning. I currently work as a Research Fellow in Network-Enabled problem solving at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University.

I obtained my PhD degree at King's College London, with a thesis on Extending agent languages for multiagent domains under the supervision of Professor Michael Luck. At King's I was part of the Agents and Intelligent Systems Group. I started my studies at the University of Southampton in 2005, and moved to King's College London in September of 2006.

I also worked in the industry as a contractor for Hewlett-Packard Brazil, and worked on a variety of projects with some very interesting people. Previously I was a research assistant at FACIN/PUCRS, and an MSc student in Computer Science at PPGCC/PUCRS, where I also obtained my undergraduate degree. Information about my academic and professional career can be checked out in my complete CV, or in a more academic CV maintained by the CNPq agency.

Research Interests

My research interests include Autonomous Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, Planning Systems, and Artificial Intelligence in general. I am also interested in Programming Techniques such as Object-Oriented Programming, Object Patterns, Agent-Oriented Programming and Fault-Tolerance. While working for HP I was involved in research on Digital Publishing tools and techniques, involving Variable Data Documents, Markup Languages and XML-based standards. Besides these areas, I try to keep up to date with developments on the Game Development community.
