My research lies at the intersection between machine learning and control theory, where I try to quantify the uncertainty associated with models and establish safety guarantees for feedback loops that contain learned systems/controllers. 

Recently, I was working on establishing deterministic error bounds for non-parametric kernel models, and on learning explicit MPC controllers. From the practical side, I have experience with power electronic systems and air-conditioning plants for buildings.

I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) in 2016, and my master's degree in Systems and Control from Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA) in 2018, both in Brazil. I was also a visiting student at Politecnico di Torino (Polito), Italy, in the master's program in Embedded Systems. I am currently a PhD student at EPFL under the supervision of professor Colin Jones.

The projects I offer are typically in the area of power electronics or HVAC systems. They usually involve coding (Python or firmware writing in C) and some practical activity such as carrying out experiments or designing PCBs. I believe balancing theory and practice is rather important to understand and eventually propose solutions to real-world problems. If you are a self-motivated student looking for a semester/master project, feel free to contact me.
