Currently an Assistant Professor at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Cachoeira do Sul Campus. He holds a B.Sc. in Computer Science (2011) and an M.Sc. in Computer Science (2014) from UFSM, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio, 2018). He held postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA, 20202022) and at the Institute of Systems and Robotics, University of Coimbra (ISR-UC, 20222024), where he worked as a researcher until 2026. His expertise is in Computer Science, with emphasis on Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning, working mainly on implicit neural representations, morphing of images and graphical objects, and media and biometric security (watermarking, steganography, and deepfake detection). He has published in high-impact international conferences and journals, such as CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, WACV, Computers Graphics, and Decision Support Systems. He coordinated the BlockDFake project, funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, Portugal), and is co-inventor of a patent filed with the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) and co-author of a registered software, both resulting from RD projects with Petrobras. He received the 2025 Best Researcher Award from ISR-UC, the 2024 Petrobras Inventor Award, and the Best Extended Abstract Award at the LatinX in Computer Vision Workshop (CVPR 2024). He serves as a reviewer for journals such as IEEE TVCG, IEEE TIP, IEEE TCSVT, and Pattern Recognition, was a program committee member of IbPRIA 2025 and EGPGV 2025 and 2026, and has served as a reviewer for the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Games and Digital Entertainment (SBGames) since 2025, having chaired a technical session at the 2026 edition.
