Hello! I’m a research scientist in speech processing from Porto Alegre, Brazil, currently at NAVER LABS Europe. I work on multimodal dynamic agents for speech and text understanding, with research interests in self-supervised speech representation, multilingual, and efficient speech processing, multimodal interaction, and computational language documentation.
I earned my PhD in Computer Science from the University Grenoble Alpes (2021), focusing on unsupervised word segmentation for language documentation. I also hold bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science (UFRGS, Brazil) and Information Systems Engineering (ENSIMAG, France), and a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence and the Web (MoSIG, UGA, France).
