Welcome!

My primary area of work involves the cognitive modeling of social contagion phenomena, specifically examining how people influence each other's opinions, behaviors, and perceptions through the use of agent-based and temporal-causal models, as well as data science. 

I contribute mainly to the fields of cognitive computing, modeling, data science, and simulation. As a result, my work is multidisciplinary and involves the use of computer science tools to address various issues, including public security, the spread of fake news, promoting healthier lifestyles, and more.

My PhD thesis, titled "Contagious: Modeling the spread of behaviours, perceptions and emotions in social networks", is available for download.

You can access my CV in Portuguese on Lattes CV, and you can download my CV in English at this link (please note that it may be outdated).

You can find me on various social networks, including ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and Twitter.

I also have a YouTube channel that features my work, including teaching resources on agent-based modeling with Netlogo. While most of the videos are in Portuguese, there is also content available in English.
