> Hi! I'm Renato, Data Scientist and PhD student in Artificial Intelligence at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I currently work as a Data Scientist at Petrobras (short for "Petróleo Brasileiro S.A."), one of the largest Oil & Gas companies in the world, working on deep learning for Oil & Gas Exploration.
As a BSc in Physics and MSc in Applied Mathematics, I have background in Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability and much of the formal knowledge necessary to understand and apply machine learning methods. Also, through my business and academic track, I was able to develop soft and hard skills for working either in specialized or interdisciplinary teams.
My technical interests cover a wide range of techniques in statistical learning and advanced analytics, with special emphasis on deep learning methods and applications.
Ongoing. Expected graduation: 2023.
Working on zero-shot learning and lifelong learning methods.
Relevant coursework:
The Deep Learning Specialization from DeepLearning.ai is a five-course specialization that helps understand Deep Learning fundamentals and applications. The specialization was created and is taught by Dr. Andrew Ng, from Stanford University, a global leader in AI and co-founder of Coursera.
Coursework:
Emphasis on statistical learning. For the thesis, I have studied properties of the macroscopic behavior of bus network traffic in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Relevant coursework:
Studied magnetic properties of materials at low temperatures, in the area of condensed matter physics.
