I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Centro Universitario da FEI (FEI-SP), Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am also a CNPq Research Fellow and head of the Image Processing Lab funded by FAPESP at FEI. In 1993, I received my B.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After working for six years in industry, I obtained the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from PUC-RJ in 1999. In October 2000, I joined the Department of Computing at Imperial College London where I obtained the Ph.D. degree in Statistical Pattern Recognition in 2004. I was a Research Associate at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London, from December 2003 to January 2005 working in the UK EPSRC e-science project called Information eXtraction from Images (IXI). My general interests are in Computer Vision, Statistical Pattern Recognition, Medical Image Computing, and Machine Learning, whereas my specific research interests are in limited-sample-size problems in pattern recognition (Lattes cv, in portuguese).
