D.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Graphics domain, Department of Informatics at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, PUC-Rio, Brazil, in cooperation between PUC and IMPA (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics).

Scientific Background

I have background in civil engineer, with a MSc in Computer Graphics, at PUC-Rio University, emphasizing Virtual Sets technologies, and a PhD in Science-Informatics, approaching Presence in virtual interactions and stereoscopic visualization, based on human vision concepts. Since 1996, I have been focusing on research areas that relate virtual and real; from 2001 I research on remote human interactions, and new media technologies. My ideal research goal is to enrich computational systems by adding features based on Presence, Neurosciences and Psychophysics research results.
