About Me

I was born in Maranguape, Ceara, Brazil. I did my undergraduate education at the Federal University of Ceara, which is located in Fortaleza. I then left for Recife, Brazil, where I studied for five years and received a degree master and Ph.D. from the Federal University of Pernambuco. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Statistics in the Department of Statistics, Federal University of Campina Grande at Campina Grande, Brazil. My research interests are related to computational statistics, time series, regression models, spatial statistics and mathematical statistics.

Eu sou de uma terra que o povo padece

Mas não esmorece e procura vencer.

Da terra querida, que a linda cabocla

De riso na boca zomba no sofrer

Não nego meu sangue, não nego meu nome

Olho para a fome, pergunto o que há?

Eu sou brasileiro, filho do Nordeste,

Sou cabra da Peste, sou do Ceará.
