Abstract

Dr. Pablo Cesar will work with students and faculty from ICMC/USP and from UFSCar, in particular with the faculty from the Intermedia Lab/ICMC (Maria da Graça Pimentel, Rudinei Goularte, Renata P.M. Fortes e Edson S. Moreira) and from Lince Lab/UFSCar (Cesar A.C. Teixeira, Junia Anacleto, Antonio Prado). The visitor will teach an 8-hour course at ICMC (ref: attached survey - part1+part2), which will be open. Dr. Pablo Cesar will also give talks in São Carlos (ICMC and UFSCar), in USP/Ribeirão Preto (Dr. Alessandra Macedo) and USP/Poli (Dr. Graça Bressan). We plan 2-day visits to UNIFACS (Dr. Cassio Prazeres, Salvador) and FUCAPI (Dr. Marco Cristo, Manaus), which are partner institutions of ICMC-USP and UFSCar in collaborative projects funded by CAPES (CAPES-RH-TVD and CAPES-NF).
