I am an Assistant Professor in the Data Governance and Engineering Unit at the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS), a collaboration between Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Tilburg University (TiU). Additionally, I am a Guest Researcher with the Security Group (SEC) at TU/e.

My research is focused on Collaborative Cybersecurity, with a strong emphasis on Threat Intelligence and Privacy-Sensitive Collaborative Anomaly Detection in healthcare and industrial scenarios. Other interesting research topics are: Internet of Things (IoT), incident response, pentesting, machine learning, and security for virtualised/containerised environments. So far, I have worked with multiple research projects, such as the EU-funded SunRISE and the Dutch National INTERSCT.

I got my PhD in 2024 from the Eindhoven University of Technology under the supervision of Dr. Jerry I. den Hartog and Prof. Sandro Etalle. I was also a Guest Cyber Security Researcher at Vedere Labs (Forescout Technologies) during my PhD.

I got my Bachelor and Master's degrees at Universidade de Brasília. During the latter, I received the award for the best tool in the XIX Brazilian Symposium on Information and Computational Systems Security with the paper Waste Flooding: Ferramenta de Retaliação de Phishing.
