After obtaining my master’s in **Human-Computer Interaction** at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Paris-Sud, I decided to pursue a PhD in Persuasive Computing. I am currently exploring technological interventions on **human motivation** and **job-seeking procrastination**. My goal is to help professionals to overcome the challenges of unemployment through digital implementations of cognitive psychology and behavioral economic theories.

My industry background is mostly in front-end development. I started my career in Brazil, programming information systems for Embratel and Caixa Econômica Federal, and later I worked for Insurello in Stockholm. I also worked as a consultant for the Embassies of Brazil in Washington D.C. and Helsinki. My first research experience was at University of Maryland’s eLab, and more recently I concluded my master’s thesis at the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique at Sorbonne Université.

I am excited about applying HCI methods to promote positive changes in human behavior, and I’m looking forward to the interesting findings that will come out of this challenge.
