Academic Information

As of 2010-11-18, I hold a M.Sc. degree in Computing Science from the University of Alberta. I also hold a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Unisinos, and a technician degree in Precision Mechanics, from CETEMP, obtained in late 2000.

Research Interests

Compiler/Code:

Compiler backends (code generation).
Code optimization.
Analysis (static, dynamic, instrumentation, profiling).
Reengineering (manipulation, binary translation/retargetting).

Network:

Network monitoring and characterization.
Protocols (specially OSI levels 2-4).
Security aspects.

Operating Systems:

Design & Implementation.
Algorithms (scheduling, internal management, …).
Optimization.

Master’s

The topic of my M.Sc. thesis is using machine-learning models for method-specific compilation in a commercial Java Just-in-Time compiler from IBM.

You can get more information from these documents:

The M.Sc. thesis.
The research paper presented in SBAC 2010.
The research paper in CGO 2011 will be available soon.

Undergratuate

My final project was in the field of code reengineering, having the MIPS architecture as a case study.

There are several documents regarding my undergratuate thesis (in Portuguese, though):

The thesis itself (with honours).
Slides of the final presentation (also with honours).
Progress report.
Slides of the progress report presentation.

In this work, I was supervised by César Augusto Missio Marcon. I am very thankful for the huge amount of time and effort he dedicated.
