Interests
Affective Computing, Human-Agent Interaction, Personality-Based Persuasion, Storytelling.
Finally, I am a PhD!!! The focus of my thesis and my research area is on Personality-based Persuasion and storytelling by social robots.
I carry all the knowledge and experience acquired during all the years that I was in this wonderful group, with a perfect working environment, companions, friends and wonderful professionals, which is GAIPS. And of course, I carry all the "saudade" I feel for everything and everyone.
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at UERN (State University of Rio Grande do Norte), Brazil.
