Resume

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and an M.Sc. in Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence from UFRJ's Systems Engineering and Computer Science Program. I also have a Ph.D. in Biosciences and Biotechnology from the Carlos Chagas Institute / Fiocruz, where I developed a search tool called SIM-XL for complex scenarios involving cross-linked peptides, aiding structural proteomics and protein-protein interaction studies. During my first post-doc in computational proteomics at Institut Pasteur in Paris, I have developed new bioinformatics solutions for analyzing top-down proteomics data. In my second post-doc at the Leibniz-FMP in Berlin, I focused on not only cross-linking mass spectrometry data analysis using cleavable reagents but also the developments of tools to turn the peptides identification faster. Currently, I'm Research Scientist in computational proteomics at Exact Sciences.

I have experience in Proteomics Data Analysis (Bottom-up & Top-down) and Quantitative Mass Spectrometry, Structural Mass Spectrometry, Natural Optimization (e.g., Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony Optimization, Simulated Annealing), Statistical Classifiers (e.g., Support Vector Machines, Bayesian Classifiers etc.), Artificial Neural Networks (e.g., Feed Forward with back propagation), Statistical Inference and advanced experience in Python, Java, C# and C++.
