Research

Artificial Intelligence research under privacy, distribution, and continuous change.

My research sits at the intersection of privacy-preserving machine learning and data stream mining: learning from continuously arriving, non-IID data under concept drift while keeping raw data protected through federated learning and homomorphic encryption. Most PPML work assumes static datasets; my focus is the online, drifting, resource-constrained regime that regulated enterprise data actually presents.

Research themes

Machine Learning

Federated learning

Distributed learning scenarios where data remains close to its source while models or updates are coordinated across participants.

Privacy

Homomorphic encryption

Privacy-preserving computation patterns that enable selected operations over encrypted data, with explicit attention to performance tradeoffs.

Adaptive ML

Data stream mining

Learning from continuously arriving data under drift, latency, memory, non-IID distribution, and adaptation constraints.

Applied Research

Enterprise applications of privacy-preserving ML

Research framing for regulated domains where collaboration, confidentiality, and practical deployment constraints must coexist.

Research statement

My academic training in Artificial Intelligence has been developed at PUCPR, from postgraduate studies through an MSc and my current PhD research.

Building on that academic path, the research connects cryptographic and privacy-enhancing techniques with adaptive machine learning algorithms for secure training and inference in distributed environments.

It considers supervised learning in continuous data streams, including concept drift, non-IID data, incremental model adaptation, and deployment constraints in regulated or data-sensitive domains.

I am seeking a doctoral research visit (sandwich) abroad to advance this work on privacy-preserving learning over evolving data streams. I bring access to real, regulated, privacy-sensitive enterprise data and hands-on experience deploying AI in mission-critical systems — a complement to strong academic PPML groups.
