About

I am a researcher with Microsoft Research since 1999. I am currently the research manager for the Visual Document Intelligence  group at Azure Cognitive Services. I received the B.S. and M.S. from University of Brasília (opens in new tab) (Brazil), and the Ph.D. from Georgia Tech (opens in new tab), all in Electrical Engineering.

Before joining Microsoft, I was a member of the research staff at the David Sarnoff Research Center (opens in new tab) from 1996 to 1999. I was also a co-op student with AT&T Human Interface Lab (now part of NCR (opens in new tab)) from 1994 to 1996, and a Summer intern at Interval Research (opens in new tab) in 1994. I have published 100+ refereed papers, and authored 50+ granted patents. I was an elected member of two IEEE SPS Technical Committees: Information Forensics and Security (opens in new tab) and Multimedia Signal Processing (opens in new tab) (for which I was also chair for 2014-15), and a member of the IEEE SPS Technical Directions Committee. I acted as general co-chair of MMSP’09, Hot3D’10, WIFS’11, and Hot3dD’13, and as Technical co-chair of WIFS’10, ICME’11, and MMSP’13. I am a fellow of the IEEE.

My wife is a dentist (opens in new tab); if you are looking for the best dentist in the Redmond / Bellevue area (opens in new tab), look no further than her Tulip Dental (opens in new tab) office in Redmond. 🙂
