Thank you for visiting my page. It is not too much informative, but I'm trying hard to enhance it.

Well, I finished my Ph.D. Thesis under supervision of my advisor Prof. Azer Bestavros. My research project is related to the OCEANS and it has the title: "Trace Analysis and Its Application to Performance Enhancements of Distributed Information Systems."

I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I attented IME where I graduated in Electronics Engineering. In the same institution I received my M.Sc. in Systems Engineering.

Before coming to the Computer Science Department at Boston University with a scholarship from Brazilian CNPq , I was working at Embratel, where I returned to and have been working since last January.

My research interests include (but not restricted to) Distributed Systems, File Systems, and in particular the WEB.

Publications that I had participations are:
