Nathalia Nascimento

PhD Candidate at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro· nnascimento@inf.puc-rio.br

I have been pursuing a PhD Degree at PUC-Rio. I received a MSc Degree in Computer Science founded by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-­Rio) with focus in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. My research project involves an agent-based Framework to create Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Internet of Things (IoT) applications, using neural networks with supervised and unsupervised learning approaches. I received my BSc degree in Computer Engineering from the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS) in 2013. I was also an exchange student at the University of Waterloo - Canada (2017-2018), and at the Technical University of Lisbon-Portugal (IST - UTL) in 2011.
