Antonio Cláudio Michejevs Padilha

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Physics with a specialization in Basic Research in Physics from the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo (IFUSP) and a Master's degree in Physics from the same institution. I completed my PhD in the Nanosciences and Advanced Materials program at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), receiving the 2016 Capes Thesis Award in the interdisciplinary category. I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Physics Department at the University of York, UK, from 2016 to 2018, and then a postdoctoral fellow at the National Nanotechnology Laboratory (LNNano), based at the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), in Campinas, Brazil, from 2018 to 2020. I worked as an Artificial Intelligence researcher at the FIT Institute of Technology in Jaguariúna, Brazil, from 2019 to 2021, developing Machine Learning projects applied to the manufacturing of electronic devices and leading a training program in Machine Learning, C and Python programming, among other topics. Since 2022, I have worked as an Applied and Data Scientist at Microsoft, working with the Databases team on Azure Cloud, developing chatbot projects based on generative AI models such as the current Large Language Models and conducting extensive security testing to ensure compliance with the company's Responsible AI principles. I'm interested in Artificial Intelligence algorithms and their applications in problems ranging from computer simulations to visual inspection and natural language processing. I'm particularly interested in the explainability and transparency of these algorithms. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
