English:M.D. (UFBa), Ph.D. (UNIFESP) in Psychiatry and Medical Psychology. I'm a post doctoral researcher at USP (Universidade de São Paulo).

My work covers the following topics: physiology, medicine, human behavior, psychiatry, mathematical models and probabilistic inference.

Português: Formado em medicina (UFBa), com doutorado em Psiquiatria e Psicologia Médica (UNIFESP). Atualmento, trabalho como pesquisador pós-doutor na Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Estudamos processamento automatizado de dados para analisar comportamento humano.

Meu trabalho abrange os seguintes temas: fisiologia, medicina, comportamento humano, psiquiatria, modelos matemáticos e inferência probabilística.

I'm interested in the following fields:

• Collective behavior and health systems

  • Cost-effectiveness analysis for screening in healthcare with automated methods^[1]

  • Implementation of a regional network for active search ^[2]

• Verbal behavior

  • Speech properties^[3]

  • Automated assessment (natural language processing)^[1]

    • Latent semantics^[4]

    • Representations via graph theory^[5]

• Psychiatry

  • Approaches with dynamic systems (e.g. biological rhythms)^[6]

  • Depression

    • Clinical trials with ketamine infusion for treatment-resistant depression^[7]

  • Psychosis

    • Psychotic symptoms in the community and population at risk^[8]

• Non-verbal behavior

  • Expression of emotions through the face^[9]

  • Posture and gestures^[10]

  • Evaluations via computer vision^[11]

• Quantitative methods

  • Analytic Combinatorics^[12]

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP). New method for analysis of semantic trajectories with dynamic systems (Recurrence Quantification Analysis)(4) and for analysis of representations with graph theory(5), both available as open source software.

  • • Psychometry *. New method for analysis of latent factors with topology (TDA) via persistent homologies and alpha filtration^[13]. Applications of item response theory (IRT)(12) and structural equation modeling (SEM)(8).

  • Meta-analysis, including Bayesian inference[13]

  • Hierarchical/mixed regression models with Bayesian inference[14]

  • Survival Analysis[15]

  • Teaching and Learning: Textbook on Statistics and Probability for Inference in Science [16]

  • Fractals[17]

• Other areas

  • Previously, I contributed to studies in the areas of cardiovascular emergencies(2) and contributed with mathematical modeling in works in urology, heart surgery.
