I am Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Applied Computing of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Brazil. I hold Ph.D. (2013) and M.Sc. (2008) degrees in Computer Science, both received from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), where I was also Postdoctoral Research Fellow from October 2013 to September 2014. From May 2010 to April 2011 I was a visiting researcher at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center - Hawthorne, where I developed projects on IT Service Management and Security Management. As an Adjunct Professor I'm also involved with supervision and education activities on undergraduate and graduate courses on Computer Science, Information Systems, and Computer Engineering. In these pages you will find information about my current activities, the research projects I'm involved with, publications, information for students, and network management in general.
